Hiking 3:00:00 [3] 15.0 km (12:00 / km) +320m 10:51 / km
shoes: Inov8 Trail Talon 275 (blk/blu
Hike with a bit of jogging with Grassie as he went into his furthest ever distance running on the NDW. Had originally planned to just cheer him on at Otford, see whether he needed anything, then get myself to Detling with plenty time for dinner & a sleep.
Bit of a stress with getting a later train down and him being ahead of schedule meant I thought I might just miss him, but arrived around 5 mins ahead thanks to him spending some time at the previous aid station.
As it was, I decided to walk up the first hill with him as he was struggling at that stage (55 miles in), which turned into joining him for the next 5 miles and trying to get him through a low patch before the next aid station. Considered ditching the plan and trying to join him for the full final 40 miles, but didn't fully trust I'd have that in my legs after the rogaine, and figured I'd be more use on the last section if anything.
In the end got him out of the aid station a bit perkier then I headed off to the nearest pub for dinner, down the hill to the train station, then up from Bearsted station to the Detling aid station, getting there just before 11.
