 I'm Richard. Welcome to Filmiron. This is the 1066 100 mile ultra. So within within half a mile or less than half a mile we're on the Thames path and we're now following the Thames path for the next 50k. There's the title of parliament over the river and Lund and I just ahead about 14k into the 1066 100 mile. We've dashed across the road. Do you know what I never thought I'd run a 100 mile ultra past the London Eye? One hour 40 into the 1066 100 mile. There's the Ports Cathedral. There's the Millennium Bridge and here's the Tate Gallery and we're still running along the Thames path. 10 miles done. Tower Bridge there. Across the road. The Tower of London. Quickly go. Quickly. I'm allowed to cross the bridge just before it opens. Thank you buddy. Cheers. Hi. Oh that was lucky. Okay officially this is 15 miles but most of us have done about 17 miles to get here because we went all over the place. Well I have anyway. We're in Millwall and I've done this in two hours and 50 minutes. So it's about 20 miles to the next checkpoint so no doubt we'll be stopping at Costa and Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Morrison's and Nero on the way. And Pizza Hut maybe yeah. This is Greenwich Foot Tunnel and it goes all the way under the Thames. So we're going from the North Bank in Millwall to the South Bank. Presumably that's Greenwich. 35 kilometers in. So we're in Dartford about 40 miles in. I am absolutely I am. It's I mean it's not that hot. It's not honestly it's about 22 degrees 70 Fahrenheit something like that. So it's not it's not burning hot but it's just hot enough to make me wilt. And I'm at that stage where my stomach is feeling pretty horrible. I can't eat any food. We've just passed a checkpoint. Second checkpoint at Dartford in the little church. And I just looked at the food and I couldn't stomach any of it. I had a couple of grapes that even that made me feel sick. I've bought myself a coffee. I've managed to have a couple of pints of milk from various shops since the previous checkpoint. But I'm walking an awful lot now. I did catch up with Richard and and Jay at one point and then I stopped at a shop and they went on and I haven't seen them since and I've walked an awful lot. But seven hours 50 minutes 62 kilometers so 40 miles. I'm just going to charge my watch and then I'll get on my way. But I'm going to be walking for a bit more I think. Nice little place to stop though for a minute. I was into the 1066 100 mile ultra and I've done about 70 kilometers although actually in reality there's probably less than that in terms of the route. It's about six o'clock in the evening and it's finally starting to cool down a bit which means I'm feeling a bit better and I'm starting to run a bit now. Not fast but at least I'm running. So we are about well I've done 50 miles but that doesn't mean we're halfway by any means because there's a lot of extra mileage in there and the whole run is at least 104 so still a way to go. Got no choice really. Yes just about. So that's station number three over there Rochester Castle. 37 kilometers to go 23 miles. We've been going for 20 hours and about 25 minutes. It's been the most bizarre 100 mile race. There's a really horrible bit through Dartford and Eryth where there's fly tipping and rubbish everywhere and it's just a horrible place to run through. It's been a lot of tarmac so kind of tough on your feet to run on tarmac and then there's been an awful lot of overgrown pathway. It's been weird and given the elevation of this ultra which is only about 1,600, 700 meters you know I'd expect to do this in 24 hours. It's going to take 27. It's been really really hard. There's been loads of walking. I'm lucky if I'm covering a kilometer in 10 minutes but this is what we do for it. It's all good fun. 10 miles to go. We've done the distance so far in 24 hours and I have now done almost 100 miles and there it is Boney and Castle. Have I seriously got to try and get through that? That's not happening is it? I've got people chasing me. We've got about six kilometers to go four miles and I think I'm supposed to be on that path over there. 200 minutes to go and it's been so tough. There's grass up to here. There's stinging nettles and and thorn bushes at eye level and at base level with a path this wide. Sometimes you don't even know if it's the right path even though it says so on your Richard's legs are buzzing. Yeah mine are buzzing. I've actually don't live too far. I've got some people who are really really scorched. You've done quite well in my life. The only I went right through the middle of a bunch of stinging nettles through one of the vineyards because I couldn't work out which way around the vineyard it was so I just went right through the bloody middle of it. So here I am in front of the famous Battle Abbey site of the Battle of Hastings. I always think it's really weird how they managed to fight in a place called Battle. Anyway I finished the 1066 100 mile ultra in 26 hours 46 minutes. That was really really hard work but I came in 10th place so that shows that it was hard for everyone. So that's it from Battle here in East Sussex. Join me again for another marathon, another ultra, another crazy adventure. This one has been a crazy adventure let me tell you next time. Take care. Bye bye.
