hellen, the 40 is the last bit of the 85, but in the opposite direction. It starts near Avebury, whereas the 85 starts near Tring. Both are worth doing!

Oh and well done kinky! :-) I felt the same about the first half - it was a great route. Grim's Ditch was my favourite bit.

It sounds like you had a tough one, but you'll have developed huge mental strength for the future.

Grim's ditch is just fantastic running, some of my favourite running anywhere.

The first half seems so much more scenic than the second with it's rutted and flinty tracks.

But good scenery would be wasted on us when all we can see is the small patch ahead of us illumiated by our Petzls. ;-)
