Derby Tup Jun 2021 9:22pm, 20 Jun 2021 50,652 posts	0 Derby Tup I nipped out to meet Gromit and her buddy this evening. They were tired and I suggested a bivvy spot so they could take a break. The main thing is they have a strategy. I met a few other runners. It’s a beautiful evening here

Derby Tup Jun 2021 9:41pm, 20 Jun 2021 50,653 posts	0 Derby Tup I met what could be called a slightly chubby bloke. He seemed very happy. An older fella and a much younger guy who might have been his son didn’t seem right to me. The ‘son’ sounded like he had no plan at all. Seeing albeit backmarkers looking worn out after 60 or so miles puts the thing into perspective. You’d have to pay me thousands to do it

jacdaw Jun 2021 10:17pm, 20 Jun 2021 3,258 posts	0 jacdaw I'd love to have a go; I just can't justify the expense, and worry the winter one might be too cold and the summer one too hot!
