My attempt started on the morning of 14/8/20. I was very lucky as it had been raining all morning and literally stopped as I started the attempt in Stowmarket. The paths were well groomed with a slight camber and I felt that I managed to keep a good pace, ducking to avoid the overhead branches. There were a two particularly difficult patches, before Needham and before Bramford where the path was completely over grown with stinging nettles, I tried to avoid these initially, slowly slightly to do this, but the path became so over grown that this was no longer possible. As I write this some hours later my legs are still tingling!! It felt muggy, in the mid 20's and even though I had taken with a litre of water I had drank this with three miles to go and was definitely thirsty by the time I finished.
