So, yesterday was spent trying to spot Molly on the fells, including a quick yomp up Helvellyn, to meet her at the top, and 'dot watching' until just gone 1:00 am in the morning, when she finished. An outstanding effort, in what was her first Ultra Marathon. 52.38 miles with 12,199 feet of ascent in 17 hours and 18 minutes!

The family were all tracking that red 114 dot...with dedicated friends even tracking her whilst camping!
