Ally: Thanks for the update, lots of us following him on the tracker 🙂

I'd never heard of it before either, it's not the kind of invite that would pull me in :~ I have met Dave a few times & hope he is getting along well & safely. There have been a few mishaps because its slippery underfoot.

Been checking too but don't really understand the results boards. Incredible what he is doing

Great news that Dave is doing well, and thanks to all for updating us on here. No access to link so good to get the news here. Ally, I'm a newby to OD but know how hard it is to be on the support team; take care of you too.🙂

Ally: Don't forget to give him extra hugs from all his OD pals 🙂

Ooops Malham

Morning Ally, hope Dave is still going strong. He is doing so well 🙂

This is amazing,those of us who have met Dave (there must be plenty by now) and have walked with him will know what a decent bloke he is,even to be at the level where you could consider entering something like this is far beyond anything I can ever hope to achieve-good luck Dave!

Met Dave at Gargrave at 10.He filled up on big breakfast.He is doing so well walking/running now for about 26 hrs.He is in good spirits and as ever still smiling.Should be in Malham about 1ish.Go for it Dave xx

Great to hear he is still smiling Ally, yes Go Dave 🙂

We'll done and good luck🙂

Great to come back from my day walk & see that Dave has gone over Pen y Ghent & will soon be joining the Pennine Bridlewway with perhaps better conditions underfoot heading north to Hawes 🙂

I am currently sat in a pub in Hawes,eating chips and drinking real ale...think Dave is about 10th,so proud hoping he arrives before last orders.Thanks for the support.We can all celebrate at our house warming..

Great place for real ale & fish & chips......do you know how far he has to go? 🙂

I reckon about 7miles but he will be knackered so probably a very slow one..but knowing Dave he will smell out a pintx

Already 15 DNFs out of 41 starters. Just still being in the race is an achievement.

Just got in from a afternoon and evening out and have been on my mobile through the day checking the challenge leader board.Excellent progress from Dave so much admiration for such a lovely man.Well Done 🙂

Peppasmum.He is running with 103 from the start.52 year old chap his 2nd ultra race.Just amazing.Missing him now and can't wait to give him a big hug!

On the home run now Ally, he will soon be back with you and his well earned pint 🙂
