Probably scattered around Oxford, curled-up in little balls of self-pity.

They'll have to emerge at some point to refuel, right?

Off Topic recommends McDonalds or KFC.

Jealous.
I'll be getting some Chilterns under my boots on Sunday.

Nice.
This will be my first foray into nature since I did the three peaks last June

How'd you get on with it?
I'll do it one year, probably next. I fancy Snowdon this year if I can manage to get up there and back without spending much, possibly a hundred-miler over five days for fundraising too, then maybe Ridgeway next spring and after that, who knows?

did it with 8 mins to spare
only one team member dropped out. My feet had blisters for weeks.

Respect, except for the blisters.
Estimated miles/ascent/descent?

You should consider doing some of the south west coast path
I did some of it a few years ago, wild camped and everything; I'd love to go back and do some more but it's finding the time/money etc.

I've done Crackington to Tintagel along the north coast of Cornwall.
Man, that was fucking wonderful - my best walk ever:

Ah! I started at Boscastle and walked to Newquay.
I only managed 10 miles a day, but that was on my own with a full pack, and it's very up and down. I did lose half a stone in 4 days though.
I want to go back and do Newquay to St Ives, it looks lovely.
(berk, Fri 18 Feb 2011, 20:55, Reply)

I'd love to do that whole stretch, it's absolutely gorgeous.
The up and down suits me, I didn't even feel it the next day which amazed me.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Fri 18 Feb 2011, 20:57, Reply)

4 bloody days of it and no training
I felt it! I probably wouldn't now though, I'm an awful lot fitter. It pissed my sister off no end when we did the c2c that I was entirely fine throughout and afterwards and she was dying.

Which one did you do?

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Fri 18 Feb 2011, 21:07, Reply)

Whitehaven to Sunderland in 3 days
I am still at a loss as to why I agreed to it, to be honest, except that it was for charity.

Did you enjoy it?

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Fri 18 Feb 2011, 21:11, Reply)

Yes, mostly
I thought I would feel massively croissant-y at the end, but I didn't, and I think I'd have enjoyed it more if I'd gotten a decent feeling of accomplishment when I finished.

I find life better with no expectations.
There's a chance that makes me a pessimist but in my heart I know that's not true.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Fri 18 Feb 2011, 21:22, Reply)

Ummmm.
easier said than done though, I think. And after 3 days of cycling 50 miles/10 hours a day, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect to feel like I've achieved something, or be a bit smug instead of just 'meh, is that it?' :)

Me too
if all goes to plan.

I suspect stuffing their face into a fry-up
if not then perhaps back in the pubs.

Southgate, north London.
I didn't realize you were coming but you are more than welcome, I bought a whole Fois Gras,'and a truffle, which should be plenty, in fact I bought too much so itmwould be great for you huts to come so it makes it cheaper for me to split it evenly between the three of us. Can you paypal it to me tonight? £500 should cover it. Look forward to it !!
