Excellent. Stoked for the overall positive outlook, which our conversations didn't have me expecting. Also, your dad with a stop watch and a flashlight is a top tier origin story for a guy with your super power.
Thank you, I really enjoyed this. Excellent writing (as usual) about adventure and what motivates us to do these things, and the photos were 10/10 as well.
Having the experience of missing time cutoffs two weeks in a row at the Leadville 100 MTB and Run back in August, your closing paragraph is a great reminder regarding outcomes. I appreciate you and the way you share your stories...
With all the changes to ultrarunning and endurance sport over the last two decades, not to mention the growth and evolution we each experience individually as the years grind on, this triggered in me some nostalgia and reflection. Glad to have rediscovered your storytelling.
What a great way to start the weekend, total escapism reading your travelogue (on a cold morning in the UK). It sounded impossibly bleak yet also idyllic. And those pictures are stunning. Did you encounter any actual danger while sleeping rough (either from people or wildlife)?

I actually was a fucking psycho at age 12.
Outstanding trip conception - routes have their own aesthetic, to which some people are oblivious, reducing movement in nature to a few numbers.
The writing as always, was excellent.
The thought process you shared was captivating.
What has guided me for 30 years: "Live your questions as if they were your answers."
I met my Waterloo 10 days ago in Wales - it was surprisingly quick and relaxing: https://www.facebook.com/buzz.burrell.14/
