This weekend, Dr Shorrock is attempting to take on the UKs biggest ultramarathon along the ridgeway, starting in Lewknor and racing towards the 5,000-year-old Avebury Standing Stones - a total distance of 100km. Starting at 08:30 on Saturday morning, Dr Shorrock will attempt to complete this in 16-20 hours (heat-dependent - it is going to be hot, hot, hot!). Anyone interested in 'dot-watching' can track her via this link: https://www.geotracks.co.uk/live/3347 - I will look like I am towards the back because the faster runners start 2 hours earlier than me!

100k on Britain’s oldest road, the Ridgeway, follows the same route over high ground used by herdsmen and travellers since prehistoric times.
