This looked pretty brutal paul. Remember my first fandance carrying 45lbs in that westher up brecon beacons. Nice one 👍🏼

[@TheRandomRunner]

I guess that was the only bonus... We were travelling pretty light. Think fully loaded with water, fuel, spare layers, my pack wouldn't be anything more than 7 kg!

[@garyrochester9595]

@TheRandomRunner enough while running in those conditions mate. Your an inspirational chap 👍🏼

[@TobyTheJug]

Looks a great event. Wonderful team effort to get round. I was on the Lakes Traverse that weekend, so can fully appreciate the conditions! Well done to all.

[@TheRandomRunner]

Yeah the weather was pretty special that weekend! Lakes traverse looks good, one for the list!! 👍

[@scriptosaurusrex]

Looks amazing. Well done team.

[@TheRandomRunner]

Thank you! It really was a team effort. Without those guys I'd still be up there now!! 😂

[@happy_running_sober]

What a great video, that looked absolutely brutal though! Some effort 💖

[@TheRandomRunner]

Cheers man!! 👌

[@runnerrossco2483]

Ooft mate. What a challenge that was, from navigation to the ascent to the horrendous weather. Superb 👏👏

[@TheRandomRunner]

Ah cheers man! Yeah navigation ain't my strong point! Bit used to just following the line on the watch!! 😂 You got any more big runs this year?

[@runnerrossco2483]

⁠Nothing huge mate. GB Ultra Scotland 50 in a few days then Cowshed Backyard in September. Small matter of the Euros sandwiched in between 😄

I can't help but smile when I watch these vlogs you produce mate! Very entertaining and relatable. But terrifying at the same time haha. Well done to you and the team. What an epic adventure.

[@TheRandomRunner]

Cheers mate! For the first time in quite a long time I was out my comfort zone, navigational skills need worked on.... Or just stick to races I can follow my watch 😂

[@SchmittsPeter]

What a cool idea. Reminds me of the orientation-runs in military.

[@TheRandomRunner]

Yeah it really puts navigational skills to the test! Or in my case, highlights just how bad my navigational skills are!! 😂

[@paulrigby8500]

Hi can I ask please what watch you use just watched your Campsie fell video

[@TheRandomRunner]

I use a Garmin Fenix 6X. Battery life brilliant! Although I wasn't using maps on this run, I just finished an ultra at the weekend, had maps running the whole time and still had 60% battery after 12 hours!
