Brutal. Desolate. Supportive.
-
Checkpoints. Good food, very supportive marshals doing everything for you, and blessed rest!
-
Seemingly endless sections of featureless boggy ground at night - hard physically and mentally.
-
Anyone wanting to really test their physical and mental endurance.
-
Think of it as 4 x 40 miles hikes with lots of opportunities to eat.
Look after your feet as best you can.
Relax into it and go your own pace
-
As long as you don’t mind a bit of sleep deprivation you can do it! It’s a toughie but a goodie.
And winter is much worse!
