Flatlander Aug 2021 8:22am, 11 Aug 2021 2,152 posts	0 Flatlander For most of this Challenge I have hovered around 230th-235th in the table. Then I had a good spell and rose to 215th-220th. I harboured thoughts of continuing that to finish in the top 200 but a poor string of runs put me back to about 235th. I am now having another decent spell but it is too late for an inside 200 finish - unless I can run 22.3 miles in the next few minutes before the current 199th Fetchie completes just 1 mile . Although my incentive is that I am currently on the A14 which is a very busy major trunk road. I should complete the Challenge this weekend in 215th-220th place which is not bad considering .

Flatlander - I'd regard any finish, regardless of position, as better than 'not bad considering'
Flatlander Aug 2021 11:56am, 11 Aug 2021 2,153 posts	0 Flatlander That A14 incentive has helped me to run 10 miles this morning, so only 12.3 miles left to go. The country road I am now on is far quieter than the A14 - I can even hear the birds sing . The top people in the Challenge table haven't moved since I last wrote, so now I am off out again to run those last 12.3 miles - it will take me only 5 minutes to get them done and claim that 199th place .

Diogenes Aug 2021 2:35pm, 11 Aug 2021 62,013 posts	0 Diogenes Just looked at my Streetview and I'm in the middle of bloody nowhere again, as I have been for the past week or more. I shouldn't be surprised, I am in Shropshire. To be precise, I am in Aston Rogers, who you may recall from the Sitcoms Fresh Fields and May To December

At times I forgot it was virtual and "almost"went out to hand out Welshcakes and Eggcakes at a one man Fetchpoint.
