FINISHED.  131 out of 801.  13th Brit out of 250!!!  Shattered and feet a mess, but it's over...  Tough, very tough, but I gave it all, and loved it.  Some of it anyway.  Other bits were pure pain and stubborn determination.

.

It hit 47 degrees in the shade and my pack started at 15kg.  34 hours running.  Many sandstorms in open tents.  E-mail me for more details or photos.

.

“The Toughest Footrace on Earth”.  Simple.  Basically 6 marathons over 6 days across the Sahara Desert, carrying all food, clothes, medical kit, sleeping bag and some water.  154 miles - the longest MDS ever.  Oh good!  (Day 4 is 55 miles.  Hmmph)

.

(or Birmingham to London and then a full marathon.  Or once around the M25 and down to Brighton)  (in a desert at 100 - 120°F, carrying a 13kg pack)

.

I'm raising money for WSPA's "fighting for bears" campaign (this page) and Medecins sans Frontieres (please e-mail henryogrady@hotmail.com for my address and MSF details).

Thank you...
