do it he sensible way, walk it, take time to admire the views., rather than run and stare at your feet so you don't trip....
The photos bring back memories when we took 4 days to walk it!
What was the fastest time?
this year around five hours. its been done in about 4 45
the track isnt all up and down, most of it is dead flat and as smooth as a footpath, any decent runner can get up to around 16 to 18km an hour for those sections making up for the slower climbs.
Still, a good achievement. I guess being 61, carrying a 14kg pack in the horizontal rain/sleet and icy track does tend to slow you down a tad. :)
I reckon you'd probably be around the 12 to 14km per hour with that weight Peter.......jettison a spare pair of socks and the complete works of Shakespear and I'm sure you could still knock it over in about 6 hours or so........!
Actually Norm, I wasn't really trying, as I had to keep stopping to take photos and read a couple of Shakesperean plays.
