Chucky Mama Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 For those non runners there is always the S"Ooops, word censored!"n Neolithic Marathon. It is a 26 miles walk from Avebury toe Stonehenge. I have done it with my family for the last 4 years. It is quite a challenge but goes through beautiful countryside (the beauty does start to fade after 20 miles though ). It is a great walk for the dog too as they are all welcome - water provided at intervals. http://newsite.wiltshirewildlifetrust.org.uk/WhatsOn/S"Ooops, word censored!"nTrail/EmailForm.aspx You can also do 1/2 or run it all or 1/2. It is hilly and cross country though so I think you would have to be pretty determined or mad to run it I plan to walk again this year providing that I can walk after my marathon exploits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 That sounds great I'd love to take the dog. But hubby is running (mad) the Keswick to Barrow the following weekend and that's 42 miles. I'll be fine tuning my support role I'll pencil in a reminder for for 2011. That year is a 0 birthday year, I plan to make it special and that would fit in nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I got it wrong . He was actually 165th overall and 55th out of 475 in the 40+ category . Not bad for an old bloke . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
