Story
280 miles and 17,550ft of going uphill or 448km and 5318m, this was not an easy challenge, further hampered by regular 30-40mph winds and lashing rain! 17,980 Kcalories were expended in the effort which is a hell of a lot of pasta!
The good news is I made it and my back held out well - the legs are still a bit sore, but standing under the Eiffel Tower made all the hard work worthwhile.
