My biggest adventure to date! The Ultra X Loch Ness Ultra Marathon (Part 1)! - Al Pepper Runs
This is the big one! I've been building up to this for a little while now and I'm pleased to present Part 1 of my coverage of the Ultra X Loch Ness 110KM Ultra Marathon!
This is my biggest adventure to date, a two-day epic taking in the entirety of the mystical and magical Loch Ness. Starting in Inverness and finishing in Fort Augustus, day 1 saw us navigating heathland bogs, huge peaks and everything in between! It was tough going, particularly with the thought of doing it all again the day after but my goodness was it spectacular!
Enjoy! Part 2 will follow shortly!
Oh yeah... and it was absolutely brilliant sharing a few miles with the excellent (and far too fast) guys from @Run4Adventure! I can't wait for their coverage of the event!

They were great! The heather… not so great! It slows you down so much! As well as soaking your feet that is.
Another cracking video 🙌 yours are genuinely my favourite 😁

I've started saying 'Gin and Tonic' at water stations myself now, may even say 'vodka' if i'm feeling brave! Class video as ever, up the Billingham!

Betting it smelt great in that tent 😁 Don't know what would be tougher. Doing the whole distance in 1 day or having to wake up the next day to do another 50k
