Starting the Pinhoti Trail tomorrow. Going self supported with no expectations https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=1e0465ce4e8f97afc2&hoursPast=0&showAll=yes
Started today at 7:28 am alabama time. Having issues with the spot but getting some tracking to go through at https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=1e0475ce4e93b4d29a&p=Pinhoti&hoursPast=0&showAll=yes
i will be recording a track each day on my watch which seems like the most reliable tracking method.
I’m trying to go after the self supported record starting in two days, in a potentially ill advised but nevertheless fun jaunt. Tracking here: https://us0-share.inreach.garmin.com/whereswillie
also updates on my Instagram @wamoth.
Congrats Willie! That was truly amazing! I had plans to go after this one self supported next November but after the massive miles you put up I think I will look elsewhere!
Congrats to Willie Thacker! Looks like he did it! New unsupported FKT. 6 days, 16 hours (pending verification).

Starting Thursday, April 30th, 2020 I will be attempting to set a new supported FKT for the Pinhoti. I will begin at Flagg and proceed to the Northern Terminus at the BMT. My wife, Mallory Yawn, and my in-laws, Todd and Jamie Henderson will be providing support during my effort.
Live tracking will be provided at the link provided below. I will also use my watch to record a .gpx track. Upon successful completion, I will provide the gpx track for verification.

Hi there. I will be attempting to set a new supported FKT on the Pinhoti starting Sunday, October 18. I will be traveling northbound. Live tracking can be found here https://share.garmin.com/X9DEC. I will also wear my Coros watch to record the trip, and will provide the file if I am successful, along with a full race report, photos, etc.
Good luck! Have an amazing time out there.
I will be attempting a self-supported FKT starting Friday, Oct 23 2020. I will begin at Flagg Mountain and head north from there. I will have a gps watch going and a garmin mini inreach but am choosing for personal safety to keep the garmin track private for friends and family until completion. I will share photos, both gpx inreach and gps watch tracks, and a race report upon completion.
I will be making a supported attempt in the southbound direction starting on October 30 at 8:00am EDT. Live tracking will be available at https://share.garmin.com/houghcanty
I will be attempting a hobo supported attempt starting April 2, whenever I wake up 😂. Live tracking will be available here https://maps.findmespot.com/s/2GY4 and Kevin Youngblood will be posting updated on instagram @kevlvphotography and my Facebook Athlete Page Can't wait!
Howdy! Tomorrow morning I will begin an attempt to set the self-supported FKT. Live tracking can be found here: share.garmin.com/WahooPinhotiTrail . I will likely be posting some form of updates on my Instagram (@billymeredith_ ) as well. Cheers!
I began this morning at the northern terminus at 9:31am.
