    Cracking documentary. Icing on the cake is having a proper Welsh speaking person narrate. Especially to hear the place names said properly and not butchered for a change.

    Everyone who took part is an inspiration. Genuine tears in my eyes when the guy missed the checkpoint by twenty seconds.

      It's an incredible event, I blew up totally the first time I tried it and had to dedicate a full year (2yrs later) to finish it. My route selection on the ground and micro nav wasn't up to speed so that's what I had to work on.
      Never again for me but I wish you well.

    • @shaundaboi6365
      @shaundaboi6365 Год назад +2

      Its a pretty expensive race to enter so you don't enter unless you have the background necessary to believe you can complete it. Not exactly built for a marathon runner is it that course 😂

    • @gemmapickering2646
      @gemmapickering2646 Год назад +1

      Would love to see you try it 😂
      Kim Collison is my cousin, he's amazing and i admire what he does so much, the work he does and the brutal physical and psychological strain a runner is under in these races is just a bit terrifying!
      I used to run cross country and thought that was bad 🤣 i would absolutely have loved to have taken my running further in speed and distance... Not this far though!! 😵 But i would have loved more than anything to do training with my cousin in the Lake District 🤷🏻‍♀️ sadly my health has got progressively worse and i cant even walk far now, i certainly wont ever be able to run again. Heart breaking really.
