Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
Well I managed it.
Snuck in just under the 13 hour mark which considering I've not run more than two miles in the last three weeks and had a not quite healed leg wound is a perfectly respectable time.
I have also discovered ultras, especially those going up the side of Loch Lomond where you have to climb down rocks over a sheer drop are not something I'm ever going to attempt again.
Half marathons or just over from now on I think.

Aye. Well done Derek.
I'm surprised you had the energy to post!

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
As someone who is familiar with most of your route (though walked, not run) ... very, very well done indeed.

I'd recce'd the route bar a 4 mile section between Millarochy and Rowardennan, I'd walked it 6 years or so back and didn't think it was bad. I was wrong, very wrong.
On the upside I can now walk down stairs without resorting to swearing.

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
Now, that was just silly. Any guide book will tell you the WHW gets worse by degrees from Milarrochy to around the Ardlui ferry beacon.  Though you may have saved yourself a few aches and pains by using the forestry road between Ardess and north of the Rowchoish bothy.

Is it me, or do all those place names sound like something from Star Wars? I can just imagine the Millenium Falcom escaping from the planet Ardess, and probably from a city call Rowchoish.

Don't knock it ... the extended universe includes a planet called Balfron, which is just down the road from here.

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
for the last 6 years me and my good lady have been swimming four days a week in our local leisure centre which allows pensioners free entry before 11 am . My wife asked me to teach her to swim when she was 64 and after taking lessons from an instructor she was swimming
2 to 4 lengths which has now progressed to 20 lengths . The difference in her fitness has to be seen to be believed .
