Never mind marathons - Hastings athlete David has covered 400km

Starting in Fort William, David took on ancient footpaths, lochs, glens and towering mountains through some of the world's most inspirational landscapes including Morar, Knoydart, Kintail, Torridon,

Assynt and Sutherland to the furthest north westerly point of the British Isles, Cape Wrath. Conditions were the worst ever seen during the history of the race with only 100 out of 300 runners finishing the event.

David said: “The relentlessness of running day after day in the most atrocious conditions took its toll. Sleeping in a wet sleeping bag for seven nights can eat away at you." David finished in 76:02:09 and celebrated with an Irn-Bru!
