Hahaha, dont think anyone has ever completed the 85 miles and had a drink in every pub , could be a challenge for a few , though you would need the Drinkin capabilitie's off George Best AND Oliver Reed and have the staminia off a Mount Everest explorer !

gnasher16 30,535 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I know when i used to give my dogs a lot of road walking it would take 14 minutes to walk 1 mile and thats probably three quarter pace....used to do 2 hours max.....= around 8/9 miles So to do that for another 75 miles at a faster pace ...thats never normal ....must take some doing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
