Well, I did it, and heres the proof :-)

2 hours 11 mins. Came 499th out of 783. Guy who came first did it in 1:15. The guy who came first in the running only category (wearing trainers not boots and without carrying a 35lb bergen) 1:00:34 seconds.
It was hard and my feet are shredded but so worth it and I'm glad I did it. Certainly think I'll be doing it again!!
Thank you all so much for your generous donations!!!
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
A long long time ago (25 years to the day almost) I did P Company and the 10 miler on "Long Valley" was just one of a number of the tests done during "Test Week". So, clearly looking back on the whole thing with far too rose tinted spectacles I've decided to do it again and see if I can raise a decent sum for the Para Charity organisation who look after airborne forces and their families. Thank you for giving, it means a lot.
