Sam Jelfs Nov 2023 10:59am, 28 Nov 2023 1,428 posts	0 Sam Jelfs I've already offered my crewing / buddy running / support to fetcheveryone, but depending on if he wants my help, and direction people are heading, I might be able to offer support for others. happy to do a bit of night running :-D

We have a boat in Huntingdonshire (St Ives, but its a bit chilly to stay there in November) I think one of the girls parents are in Hertforshire so I suspect we'll go that way.
fetcheveryone Nov 2023 11:38am, 28 Nov 2023 29,908 posts	0 fetcheveryone We've got a KatieB to help us, so if there's anyone without support, I'd understand if Sam wants to support them instead. I'll probably publish my/our route before the day too, so if there's anyone who wants to scare the shit out of us by popping out from behind a bush, there'll be plenty of opportunities
Gromit Nov 2023 1:07pm, 28 Nov 2023 1,910 posts	0 Gromit Equally happy for you to tag along with me and my buddy RH - we'll be heading north and homewards.... with the aim of support and local knowledge as the 24 hours progress.

Sam Jelfs Nov 2023 7:19pm, 29 Nov 2023 1,429 posts	0 Sam Jelfs Official Meriden results posted, and I managed to travel the furthest of anyone... 10km real km travelled more than the winner, 10km less as the crow flies. Certainly not efficient!
