you are all doing very well
Good morning all you lovely running peeps - please please remember to send your reports to reports@coastersgb.co.uk THANK YOU!!!!
That way we can collect the reports in one place and Stu is not on mercy of being able to spot them in various threads.
cant wait for the Jura report. Our Barry does get about a bit
I had a Jura report once
-oh wait a minute that was a "jury" report-lol
Stu
Lizzie Rose was running the baton from the ferry port on Jura to Craighouse where the race starts from. Not sure whether she was doing that last night or this morning. Distance about 8 miles.
Dave
Susannah is happy to do a podcast after todays race, I can arrange that for Sunday evening or Monday once she is back from Jura. Who should we contact to record a phone interview ?
Dave
brilliant Dave. She will have to leave contact details so she can get a thankyou card. Alternate, I can mail you a blank one so you can distribute them to runners as you seem to know them.
Stu
will pm you the podcast contact

Well done today Barry and his runner/s
Of course I ran yesterday, Stu!
Do you think I would be slacking? There are many miles to cover as you know!
Today was tough though, all those steep climbs and then suddenly I was falling down again at such speed! I clung to Susie's arm really tightly in case I fell off and got lost!
Susie is my pet name for Susannah by the way... she's a lovely lovely lady...
Well done Barry and Susie for intitiating him into the world of fell racing.
Reckon it'll all seem easy after that
Don't rush to Oban - looks like they've still got some sorting out to do for that stretch. Keeping everything crossed it all come together in the end
it is starting to sort now deb

I am chasing down some photos and a report from Susannah DaveWell done on Jura..
Just keep running the rest of you!
fantastic effort congrats x
Better late than never...
Our run started down at the harbour on a beautiful, sunny, evening and took us north , along the shore, to Ardrossan. We had spectacular views across the sea to Arran and beyond the whole way and running on the traffic-free cycle path was a pleasure. There were wildflowers, everywhere, and..at our pace...we had plenty of time to enjoy them. After a slight detour inland along the banks of the river Irvine, we were back on the shore for the final stretch along the proms at Salcoats and Ardrossan and our own ‘sprint’ finish to the ferry terminal.
We knew that our stretch took Barry through the 500 miles barrier and, yes, I did sing that song....in an aaaacent.
’Slightly sad to say goodbye to Barry as he left our hands, and the mainland, for the start of his offshore adventures.
P.S. @ MAT ( Well, she is a mathematician..)
MAT +AMT (112 years,9 children) + 10 miles + 2 hours ( run/walk x sightseeing ) = Ardrossan – Irvine = Fun
