Wow. Sounds very tough.

Where are you / where did you all bail?

Back at Llanbrymair setting in for the night (and a thermos of Tea from Stu)

Taking to Duncan there's a lot of people in Barmouth weighing up there options.

This time of night I'm not expecting too many more scrates until tomorrow morning.

I'll wait for the leaders to get back after sun rise.

Ian's over 80 mile in now and still moving. That's good going. Well done
I am glad I am on the couch in the warm at home. :-bd

I was ok albeit slow riding but was starting to get cramp in my leg whenever I started pushing uphill.

Decided to bail before I hit the really bad hike-a-bike stuff, gutted but no chance of doing the full route
Wait for me...

Watching the SPOT pages is very addictive isn't it. I'm supposed to be preparing stuff for the morning but I keep going to check how Ian and Dave are doing. I reckon Ian is about 30 minutes ahead at the moment which does not sound like a very big margin. Wonder where all the others are?

Looks like Ian has been stopped about 50 minutes now and Dave has moved ahead of him.

UPDATE: Looks like it was just a SPOT update problem. Ian does not seem to have stopped afterall and is still ahead of Dave.

Pity the satellite image isn't live!

Scratch Update
Travers just pulled in

Ian looks to be 30k away. A race to see who arrives first, Him or Dee.

Great thread. Dave barter should be along any minute going by his spot tracker.

What is the thoughts on the route from the early finishers?

Looks like the gap between Ian and Dave stayed pretty constant all night.

Very impressed by these times. 6:40am Wow!

Yes, good work all.. I'm imagining some 'character-building' sections from reading the pre-event threads : )
