That's the first day done. Waiting all afternoon for a call or a text. Noel finally found somewhere with a phone signal just as I was driving the children down to the lake for a spot of wakeboarding. Luckily the signal lasted long enough for him to leave a message.
"I've managed to get a lift down into the village as there's no phone signal in the campsite. Today was tough! Really really hot today. Lots and lots of hills, and really steep. I don't know what I was expecting, it is Exmoor after all. Took 5 hours 30, just under. Saw a SeaKing Helicopter. He came down the road behind me, flew over, turned round and gave me a thumbs up through the window. It really gave me a lift."
Day 2 tomorrow, Exford to Crowcombe. It's another tough run across Exmoor and has been dubbed 'Red Friday'. Noel will be wearing his red Fetcheveryone shirt and I will wear a red top to work. If Noel can run all that way in support of our troops the least I can do is wear a red shirt in support of our lads and all the runners our there tomorrow.
