Pennine Way Run 13-17 May 2011, or Three men on a BOAT
It’s a little difficult to say how many actually went on this trip, first there was 1 then 2,3,4,5, then 4, briefly 6, then 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 for the last 150 miles or so. But taking into consideration the miles run, amount of wind and number of beers drunk, it approximates to [...]
