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!

Looking at the leaderboard I think any steps probably won’t be taken into consideration. Will currently in 2nd has 367 miles of steps and even though he’s met the finishing total he doesn’t have an end date yet. Poor bugger may still have to run those miles 😱

I seem to remember from the SWCP that there’s a button to press to complete the challenge. I think our own Derby Tup fell foul of it and ended up further down the finishers list because he’d not clicked and officially finished. I wonder if there’s any way of alerting Will?

I'm feeling a bit guilty about neglecting this event, but the miles are still accumulating and I have reached 250 miles today. 400 to go!

Thanks for the nudge, I haven’t checked where I a, for a while. I’ve finally made it onto a minor road by the looks of it.

I hit the jackpot and landed here yesterday evening. Bit of a headache but I’ve managed another 3.5 miles today, total mileage 289 so far.

I keep forgetting about this, I'm 40% done on 262 miles,
It looks like I've almost climbed up a bit of a hill, hopefully, there'll be a decent view on the other side.

Totally not planned but tonight’s run put me right on a bridge over the Tiraumea River



It’s better than my current view of Wales which is of a Travis Perkins.
