I cannot believe how spread out they are tbh. The seem to have covered alot of ground since yesterday morning when they were a long way south of Haworth.

~100 miles in 24 hours, I can scarcely believe it.
But my best wishes go out to those at the back, less than half that distance. They could be going for 5 days. I hope they make the time cut.

If I was walking it, I’d just be leaving Crowden this morning. Even the back markers are well ahead of anything you’d ordinarily do. In winter as well!

this looks brutal, they must be soaking wet for most of it

I started 'dotwatching' after reading this post and being fairly local drove to the finish yesterday and walked back up the Penine Way to cheer on some of the stragglers.

Ramon Bermo USA, Kate Farley GB. These two looked in reasonable shape, some we passed looked fit to drop.

Lovely day for a walk. Mine was about 259 miles less than theirs.

Not a bad final day of weather for them to finish in

The last one didn't finish until 06:17 this morning, it was a bit chilly overnight.

Imagine running and walking on your own all night, being cold, wet, tired and hungry, 3 miles from the end of a 268 mile race and seeing this in your head torch!
