Story
On a rainy 2nd of October, I departed to tackle alone the challenge of running from Cambridge to Land's End.
Roughly 700 km of unsupported fastpacking, carrying just 5 kg with everything I need to live. Running in the morning. Sleeping out in the open in a bivvy bag.
"Fastpacking is the hybrid of running, hiking and lightweight backpacking. It’s a multi-day running trip carrying the bare essentials. Underpinning the activity is the principle of ‘fast and light’ – taking only what you need to stay safe and happy, and nothing more. This allows you to travel further and faster in a day compared with hiking, by running whenever the terrain allows it."
