191+ miles with a few ups and a few downs (at least 24000ft i believe), to be completed hopefully in 7 days from 12-18th June.
Charlie is charged with leading the way and we'll be accompanied by two workmates, Richard and Guy.
A challenge it will no doubt be, seeing us stopping off in the following places and staying in some fine hand picked hostelries to refuel and rehydrate
day 1 rosthwaite 28m
day 2 bampton 59m
day 3 kirby stephen 83m
day 4 reeth 106m
day 5 osmotherley 141m
day 6 glaisdale 170m
day 7 robin hoods bay 191m

jan that's lyth cumbria 24m
feb c2c day 2 recce
mar howarth hobble yorkshire 32m
apr highland fling scotland 53m
may cateran trail scotland 55m
june the 'big push' 191+m
i genuinely feel excited once again about everything and its translating through into a new found enthusiasm to run and train.
already im at the end of week two and on track in the training plan, and although there's a long way to go and a few hellishly high mileage weeks next year to get through, i really believe its totally doable
only 29 weeks to go guys! when you put it down on paper it's not that long! (yikes :-0 )

Good to hear you and Charlie have found your running mojo again
thanks stephen
how are you and billy doing? are you guys getting out and about and enjoying life?
Good thanks
We moved house recently which has been 'interesting' but well worth it. A good park and new footpaths for Billy and I to explore.
The Edale round of the Dark and White mini m.m.series, went well and i am looking forward to round 2 from Hayfield.
Great challenge you have planned there. I'd love to do that one day!
I'd better come up with something decent for 2010 in the presence of such ambitions.
Lets make 2010 the year of great challenges.
