Hi Sandra, welcome!
I’m in the Midlands but have spent several weeks in the Lakes over the last 3 years trying to get fit enough for the Joss Naylor challenge, I get 24 hours to complete it at my age (over 70) but it has eluded me so far, and might now be out of reach…
My hips are 10 and 8 years old and the only thing holding me back is the rate at which I am declining in performance with the passage of time – get that 100 miler done before it’s too late!
Pete
