It’s Hamsterley forest, I’ve been running round there for about 15 years now, it’s very varied, I never get bored of it.

It is, I’ve done 3hr runs and never run on the same path twice. Everything from forest paths, single track trails to open fell.

Cheers, I’m glad you like it. I’ve done a few race videos, but tend to make them on races that I’m watching rather than during my race. I keep the 2 separate. It’s like 2 different hobbies. If I take my camera it’s to make a video, but it’s also a good way of making me take it easy.

Just spotted this, how did you get on?

The music is pretty good on this one, fits nice. It’s called geordie and is by Ben Catley. His Dad Allan was a great runner in the 80’s. Someone I looked up to.

That Running Guy thanks, a canny work out too, dashing round the course.

james palmer I would say yes but I live the other side of Durham now, so don’t get there these days.

james palmer I’ve moved now, so don’t get down there any more but also run in the early morning, 5.30 this morning. Love it.

Peter Wood glad you liked the video, you’ll love the vest, it’s a great bit of kit.

Jonny Cox thanks Jonny, it helps when you get a great day like that.

Adam Marcinowicz how did you get on? Conditions on Saturday were pretty brutal.

wildcamp tom , hi Tom, thanks for your comments, my route was Seathwaite, Styhead tarn, Styhead, climbers traverse, summit of Great Gable, Windy gap, Green gable then Sourmilk gill back. As for kit, I was wearing inov8 X-talon 212 and OMM Kamleika smock, best waterproof running jacket I've ever had.

Scott Watson shame I missed you. It was really bad underfoot, the rock was really slippy, I was a bit nervous at times, but still a good run out. How's the training going?

It's going great thanks Iain - never enjoyed my running as much. You're right about the wet rock though, it was wasn't easy to run over. Take care and keep up the good work.

OMM | Original Mountain Marathon, no problem, we all had a great time. A great experience for us guys. On a personal level, I got on the course and visited the overnight camp. I spotted some of our regular customers and people that I'd served in the marquee the night before, it was great to see them and give them some encouragement.
