Bare minimum training

I didn't know you didn't know that Phil. Then again, it was over 30 years ago.

Old Man of Hoy. Four way nasty at least:

The crumbling cliff, the height of it, Fulmars (birds) that spit oil and worst of all, Tics that come crawling out of every crevice.

If Peter Duncan climbed that then 'well hard'

A shame that so many with 'talents' waste them. I guess if they don't fancy something then there's no point picking away at them about it.

Here we go, the marathon's right at the beginning, Old Man of Hoy at 1:00.  I'd forgotten about the sumo wrestling.  Go on Peter!

According to the Wikipedia Marathon Page ..."It is said that Phiedipiddes ran the entire distance without stopping and burst into the assembly, exclaiming we won!"

I suppose walking round in 6 1/2 hours doesn't really seem to do his legand any justice.

Nowdays he'd just send a text.

Ric, probably, but I'm too wise for that game, as do you think i'd be able to leave it alone at just a 2.59 or something? It'd take over everything!
