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!

Well done poppy. I’ve lost interest a bit too, nearly every time I look the street view looks almost the same. I’ve got about 60 miles to go.

Well done - I'm nearly 90% done after realising that I'd not entered any of last week's training. This may well be my last virtual event.

It may well be my last paid-for virtual event.

Meanwhile, out on the trail, 175 miles to go and a pleasant open view today:

Looks like I might have some company - and the terrain isn't just flat farmland anymore.

I agree Synge, I think at the time I was a bit down not being able to participate in “real races” so getting a medal at the end appealed a bit. I may do another one at some point but won’t go out of my way. I’ve got 230 odd miles to go- probably would have finished ages ago if I’d included my daily steps.
