he's a top bloke, contact details on the site.

He's on FB too, a few links.

And as Rob said, an all round nice guy. When he first suggested the C2C in less than 24 hrs he was rounded upon. And then he just went ahead and did it. Gets my respect anyday. And as for 'The Hobbit's Tale' (There and back again!)- Wonderful, awesome stuff.

181 Miles sounds very much like something we did quite recently >

Thanks folks, it was Russ's version I was particularly interested in.

I've checked out the website/route, looks nasty, might tackle it with some mates as a non-stop "relay" and see how quick we can do it...

Russ, might be in touch to pick your brains !

My email addy is in my profile so get in touch if you have any questions, if you haven't seen it, the blog has lots of handy links and pics
