had a look and asked on some Scottish threads SJPC -early days yet. I am sure they wont want to be outshone by us lot south of border-lol This is a forum project , i just thought of it. I thought there is enough experience, will and appetite for challenge to make it happen and i think it will
No julie - though personally would have loved to (studied for 3 years there). Theoretically somone could stop at stranrear and some start with Barry at Belfast, then Larne then to L/Derry. and bring it back to stranrear. Worth a thought
If you can liaise with someone on the Gretna- Ayr leg (when we get someone) it may be poss..
I did the Suffolk heritage coast marathon this year, but apart from running next to Sizewell much of it was inland, and i don't rember it, just remember being nackered from running a marathon pb 2 weeks before. Did another marathon the following week, then a 28miler the week after. I must have been mad.
could open it up FF. Of course big forum interest in it. More peops may use forum too, if involved. For Scotland it would be wise to leave it open as parts are my only concern re numbers
yip FF -peops go on training runs in groups dont they. Up to area peops I guess. I would try to keep it open and informal as poss-keeps it fun (though some serious running is involved)
It would be great to have some people running together, more carnival feel...the more people the better but not sure how people would feel if they have to run on their own in their area due lack of runners/support while others have fun along the way I would feel very lonely
some ultra peops are used to it runnaholic (some like it). Running is always a mix of emotions. Yes spells of lonliness but great sense of acheivement too.
Just jump in, kiwi So you didn't have time to read through the thread then?? Suggested start around end April so far...put your name on one of the stages
kiwis - hope to start end of april in Blackpool working clockwise. Could be later as it depends on how many we can get. Basically it is shifting a baton around Britains coast.

Yeah, I've had a look this afternoon
I'm doing the Portsmouth coastal half marathon in Feb so will have chance to rackey around a bit
great stuff. Good for peops to look at routes and experience them. If all round did it we would be moving
You mean WE have 195 miles each!, i've spoken to few people at my running club and i think we can easily add a few more people to our area.
Hoose are we trying to keep this in house on RW or open it up?
I'm just adding my name to two sections as I am right on the Portsmouth border.
My ideal bit would be Bognor - Chichester Harbour - Portsmouth area.
