Nine Hours into the North Downs Way 100 Miler

We're currently 36 miles into the North Downs Way 100. Beautiful view down behind me. It's taken us about, well eight hours to do that distance. So far we're all going well. Oh, nine hours! Nine hours apparently to do that distance. But all going well, feeling much better than we did at this stage of the South Downs Way 100, when it was absolutely baking hot. Today, it's just been pouring with rain most of the time. But it has actually stopped now, and it is due to stop permanently later on tonight. It might rain again before the end of the day, but we'll see. So there we are. Top of this climb in the North Dows Way 100.

You two are epic! It was great to have fragmentary chats with you as we fought across the gale-swept Downs. You got it done! Thanks for the inspiring example.
