ITG 🇮🇸 1 Sep 6:59pm, 1 Sep 2024 17,937 posts	0 ITG 🇮🇸 About 66N here, just shy of Arctic Circle. There is a Steve in Norway, but I think Bergen (latitude of Shetland) but I expect lots of fetchies have run further north, e.g. Tromso and maybe Svalvard. I've jogged in Tromso and a tiny bit in Ittoqqortoormiit which is a bit north of Tromso but south of Svalvard. And I mean "a tiny bit' because you cannot leave the village without a rifle and the stones to take on a bear. I had neither.

Out of idle curiosity I was wondering (without giving away any personal info) who are the most northerly, easterly, southerly and westerly Fetchies. Perhaps three lists: in the UK, Europe and the World (with east and west being defined by a standard Euro-centric map).

I guess the limitation would be being based permanently (or long-term) in that location i.e. not there for a one-off race or a holiday.

Anyone want to volunteer themselves for one of these lists? :-)
