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

Notes & Comments

Northants Shires and Spires 35 miler ultra.
Lovely course although a lot more road than I expected - trail shoes trashed my feet as the first 11 miles were all on roads plus lots more afterwards.
Completely self navigated - just a map, no marshals or signs (not what I expected) and this paniced me slightly. With people in sight for most of it - miles 14-16 I couldn't see anyone infront or behind and wanted to stop at CP3 (16miles). However, was pursuaded to continue, just wait for a group that were behind me and keep a group in front and behind. This worked well + I got to grips with where we were on the map so could map read if on my own!

Glad I completed it, in terms of distance it was good - legs felt fine, stiff at the end but not trashed so could have done further if needed. Feet definately sore and blistered.

Would I do it again? Not sure, the self navigation put me off - but the course was lovely, so maybe again with a GPS route watch/device - food for thought!!!
Please wait... saving your change.
