Report

I ran from Portsmouth to the RAC headquarters in Bescott in the unsupported category.

I took all food, snacks, water and supplies in a custom made pram that I made. I started with 4 days of food and 22 litres of water. I finished with 3 litres of water left and 2 days of food. I was finding it easier to snack then stop to cook.

To make sure I followed the unsupported correctly i bivvy camped along the way and didn’t go into any shops or have anyone with me at any time. I never stopped in populated or shopping areas to make sure I avoided questions.

I used spot gpx and Strava to log my route but I couldn’t get my Strava to log onto this submission? But is public so free to look at.

I finished at the RAC headquarters just after 3 days.

This was my practice run for my 3rd attempt of JOGLE unsupported. This was to test the pram and make sure all my equipment worked as on both JOGLE attempts it was the pram that failed. It went very well and was very hot.  It felt like the hills were constant and I found this physically harder than jogle. I wasn’t expecting so much wildlife and amazing views and once I have reattempted JOGLE I think I’m going to do this again and improve the time and I was aiming for under 3 days but a couple of navigational failures slowed me down.
