She got a piece of thorny twig stuck in her paw which slowed things down a bit. Told her about the dangers of barefoot running before.

Note
I count 345 not 320. Says I missed #16. Wonder if I punched the wrong box?
Way off the pace anyway.

Woke up feeling like death. Got bike out but felt it it was a stupid idea and went back to bed. Got up an hour later feeling a bit better then realised I had an extra hour and would just make the start.
Set off with no particular plan so headed down the towpath to the aquaduct. Quite well hidden punches for these events by the looks of it. Then to the haywoods, completely unfamiliar but steady enough.
Elastic bands snapped on map board mk2 as did the spares, map in pocket.
Ended up rushing around relocating, getting frustrated then realising I'd missed out about 4 controls which were gimmes. Cruised in from chase road corner.
This ain't for me. Think I said that last time.

If anybody hears that I'm thinking of doing this again please shoot me in the head.
Big blue cock spray painted on the path before the finish summed it all up really.
Bashed my foot badly on a rusty metal bar at mile 20. Gave up after that.
Miserable.. " SimonW Oct 2013.
It was still miserable and the blue cock is still there albeit faded. over an hour faster this time and 29th place. Could have gone well below 9hrs but was on call for work..and got a call. The over the phone fix to a Welsh chap in Whitson took well over an hour.
..And Roger took us on a couple of detours.
So shoot me in the head.

2 sets of 3 outlying controls which would take some time to get. Got the one set but not the other because of time wasted during the earlier punch hunting.
Not really the best of planned routes either as I visited 2 of the same controls twice.
