Fuuuuuck meeeee.
A few weeks ago I hiked and climbed a 10mi route with 1500m up and 1500m down and it took me 12 hours. Admittedly it was above 3000m and about 25% was actual climbing with ropes and glaciers but even so, I have literally no idea how somebody could cover that distance and elevation in 48 hours!
I'm on my way to Chepstow for the start of the Mercian Challenge. 100 miles along the Offa's Dyke path, 8pm start. Hoping to finish sometime Saturday night but hadn't really looked at the elevation profile until this morning...😐
