I'll be out soon as well, but I don't think I will establish a presence of Trackleaders for a mere 60k.

Good luck Steve!

Sunshine?  Bit grey and damp today.  But our hero has already got 75 Ivan miles on the clock, with a nippy 23.4km/h average speed.

GO STEVE.

Blimey, where's he going?  114 miles at 3:40 and still heading north.
Nothing in the diary.
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

Maybe its finally time for one of those "crazy moves" that he keeps talking about but hasn't actually done yet?

Turned now. Looking like he's retracing his steps, although as he's got a tailwind there might be extra mileage diversions.

I seem to recall him telling me once that there was a good café stop at Woodhall Spa, where he turned. From memory, there is a camp site there as well.

Steve looks like he has gone for an early stop. Met Office weather radar shows a band of potentially heavy stormy rain in the area so I wonder if this is short sleep stop before carrying on after it dries up?

It's gone awfully quiet, and the tracker hasn't moved for ages. I hope he's OK.

I find it worrying that we have heard nothing.

Nothing is posted on Strava either, which adds to the worry. If Steve stopped for a "normal" reason  (tiredness etc) then we would have expected an update.

A closer look on Google maps and this is a Supreme Inn, maybe Steve has gone for an early night and is going to get up (about now 6hr 30ish after stopping) and do a BIG one???
