Congratulations on a good ride. Mrs. TSK proudly became the first woman finisher although is now come down ill with a stomach bug. Possibly from drinking river water.

Nasty.
You can get good filters and pills to sterilise. Would recommend.
But congrats to her! -
Congrats to Mrs TSK.
Never drink water where there's livestock upstream (everywhere on Exmoor). Sheep and cattle dump a lot of Cryptosporidium into the water course. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptosporidium
Get a Sawyer filter, or some tablets next time.

So, Braunton 150 is ticked off the list. Brutal route, rough, and climb after climb, almost all in bottom gear. Descents are bloody brilliant and the route as a whole is really beautiful. Took 27 hours. Liam Glen got round without stopping in 18.5 hours. He did win Highland Trail race last year, he's a machine.
