Excellent, good luck Synge! I've got a *real* 10k race on April 24th.

I am in too, assuming that this can be done with logging manually? I can't connect the Garmin (301) to Fetch as there are no servers for it...

I’m running 3 marathons this weekend starting tomorrow! It should be a good start for me! How many castles will I be passing in those first 78 miles???

Yep, I'll be at work over Easter too, probably just half-days though. Gonna make a good go of the weekend start, whatever. I like this challenge, I've not done a virtual ultra before.

Oh, I hadn't considered it as an ultra - I haven't done one either. :-o

Wow, jelly! It sounds as if you will be on the first page of the leaderboard for a while!

There is a castle at pretty much exactly every 50 miles. The first are Caerphilly (50 miles), Chepstow (100 miles) and Monmouth (150 miles).

(If you pay close attention, the route does pass one or two others along the way too!)

Fetch, will hiking automatically log for this challeneg or do I need to log as walking? I’m quite excited, thanks Fetch and Synge.

Currently it's 'walking' only - but I don't have a problem with including hiking. Could you send me a feedback to remind me? I am currently battling the EA secretaries portal, and it's taking all my energy not to pop my head :-)

All my walks and runs are logged manually, Henneke. Fetch has never complained.

Owlie (and slightly on the same subject) could you get a pedometer and calculate your in-work walking mileage from that? And log manually?

(I haven't even signed up for it yet. No real hope of achieving 600 miles, but I notice several others have said the same thing)

Not gonna hit the deadline?
