Many thanks NJ and SS for this, and for team flinky for getting me there/back, and for pleasant chats/grunts (depending on what stage of the event) with so many others.
I guess it is too late to try and get the race distance changed to 26.2 in the fetch race details for this? It annoys me that it has come up with a new PB distance in my portfolio!

BW - Not that i'm bothered but the total distance on the full clanger is closer to 27miles than 26 or even 26.2 for that matter. I've said it many times to anyone that'll listen that this is a fantastic event - I love it. Back every year if i'm fit I reckon.

Enjoyed the 16 mile version, especially the downhill bit to Bedford park...also overtook team flinky for the first and only time. But hadn't run 50 miles the day before..

Did anyone take any photos? I had my hands full and didn't get round to taking any at all.

that was a fantastic event, thanks nightjar and silvershadow, great to see everyone and to run most of the way with lisrun and all the way with jjf. b lass, I only twigged it was you when we had gone past when I turned and shouted hello!
I was worried about team flinky, had expected you to catch us up but you were walking badly at the beginning, glad you managed to finish.

very good event, thanks to everyone concerned for this, will defo be back next year. BrianJ, think it was you that went by me on that steep downhill (which I really struggled with and properly did for my legs). Followed you through Bedford town centre then lost sight of you on the river bank.

Bjw, yes that was me, I was fine zooming down the hill but legs were protesting by the time I reached the river. I wore trail shoes, but would have been better in ordinary road shoes as the ground was so hard.
