Magnificent 7 on the Hike

6-7 October 2012

We did it! Finished in 19 hours 23 minutes, over two and a half hours ahead of our target, largely due to a fantastic group who we walked with. Many thanks to Ali, Ruth, the two Lees and David for their great company. We stayed together right up to the final checkpoint at the school to finish with identical times.

It was certainly boggy underfoot but fantastic weather, a stunning star-filled sky and beautiful morning sun on the final summit at Ragleth. It certainly feels good having achieved the 50 miles but we should pay tribute to the real heroes who are the hundreds of volunteers at the checkpoints who made the whole experience such a delight. 

A few aches and pains but all worth it.
