Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

David, that's really interesting! I'd noticed it was someone called Gingerbread Man and just vaguely assumed it was someone running under a pseudonym, but the 145 years old.

According to Wikipedia, the fairy tale first appeared in print in 1875... 145 years ago

Nice!

I'm #16014 and slowly catching up the mileage missed by starting late …….. the dodgy map situation is frustrating and I hope they get it sorted soon as I like to see my progress on the map , it worked yesterday for the 1st time although just showed my position and didn't show the race route ………. all tweeks i'm hopeful they will sort it out , I wonder if they'd realised just how many people would sign up !

I'm finding my mojo again already ……….. I dragged my ass out of bed at 4.45am today which I wouldn't have done without this challenge , also enjoyed an evening walk with the wife last night rather than sitting in front of the tv …….

I haven't managed to view the map yet, I think it's completely swamped by the numbers.

Great to hear Gromit! (although 4:45am? 😮)

Saracen I think is onto something. I have managed to use it in the evening but only after retrying while it worked first time this morning.

At 21.5 miles, I've not actually made it to Tennessee yet!

Doesn't seem to have updated since 04.00 this morning :-( …. if only i'd got up just that bit earlier ;-) Also noticed the addition of an interactive tracking map which I don't think was there before …….. not that I've managed to get it to load.
