| Offas Dyke Challenge Anyone live near Severn Bridge? | |
 Does anyone live near Severn Bridge and can give me a lift from Pilning to Sedbury Cliff (near Chepstow) on Tues 1 September 6-7am? I'm parking my car at a friends house in Pilning, but need to get to the start of Offas Dyke and don't really fancy running an extra 10miles to the 177miles I have planned! Many thanks Daz PS - not running whole way - its an experiment. Will be run/walking and taking a 3hr bivvy on the first night. | ||||
| ||||
 ermm apparently both bridges charge DAz - i didn't knwo that not being a driver and all that
| ||||
| ||||
| ||||
of course id pay the tolls. ok now though - im camping at sedbury house just 800m from the start. and i can leave the car there for a couple of days. thatll do me | ||||
| ||||
 good luck Daz, sounds bonkers
 (Offa's Dyke, not the camping bit (that's just plain weird  )) | ||||
| ||||
 I stood on Offa's Dyke once.
| ||||
| ||||
 sounds a brilliant weekend.....enjoy
| ||||
| ||||
Thanks If you're interested, I'm knocking up this little webpage that will have a live (twitter) feed on it - i'll send from the mobile every 1-2hrs. http://www.target-fitness.co.uk/offa.htm I'm not sure if I'll get around, especially in <48hrs but it'll certainly be an experience and prob hardest thing I've ever done. I'm no ultra runner! Daz | ||||
| ||||
 Daz - you're doing this in Inov-8s?? I know you're a forefoot runner but I would have thought road shoes would be better given the hard surfaces off-road at the mo.......
good luck matey | ||||

"I'm no ultra runner!"
lol - Dazzle, you once said you'd never be able to do an Ironman! | ||||
| ||||
FB, I'll be running in the roclites up to Hay (50M), then I will probably swap for my cushioned mizuno elexir. Only prob will be running the hills at night....have to watch my step. | ||||
| ||||
Daz, assuming you're not still out on Offas Dyke....., how did the run go?
| ||||
| ||||
In case he doesn't read this - he had to pull out with a sore knee
| ||||
| ||||
| ||||
Hi Atom, Yep I pulled out officially after around 80miles. Damn right knee went and could only limp. After coupleof hours sat in back of a baptist church at 4am the adrenalin dropped and the body crashed. Game over after that. But I loved it, off-road over hills under a full moon is awesome. Can't wait til next year! | ||||
