Report

I started the run from King Alfreds Statue in Winchester, UK on the 5th November 2021 at 10:43am

The intention was to run the full 220 miles self-supported, buying food and drink from the hamlets, villages and towns I passed through along the route. After completing circa 173 miles of the route self-supported, I got into trouble on Sunday evening after about 67 hours of no sleep, becoming very confused about where I was, what I was doing, becoming increasing cold and unable to make basic decisions. At that point my bother-in-law took the decision to come and find me (I was wearing a GPS Tracker  ). Once he eventually found me we spent the night in his car about 300 from where I left the trail. In the morning I rejoined the trail where I left it and I continued the run but now as a supported challenge.

I completed the full 220 mile route on 8th November 2021 at 19:14pm.

Above are the URL links to the Facebook and Instagram pages where updates, pictures and videos of the run were posted.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Many thanks and Kind Regards

Jamie Edwards
