Day 7 - Early Start & Ahead of Schedule

Its 0644 and Steve is close to Checkpoint 22: Hobcarton Car Park in Whinlater Forest. He was due here at 0807 so from the tracking data he looks to have more time in hand on his schedule.

It is worth noting that although this 'day 7' of Steve's run, as in he started on Saturday 14th and has been running Sunday 15th, Monday 16th, Tuesday 17th, Wednesday 18th, Thursday 19th and he will finish (all being well) on Friday 20th. However, in terms of complete 24-hour periods of running this is the sixth complete day Steve's record attempt.

The current Joss Naylor record for completing all the Wainwrights is 7 days, 1 hour, 25 minutes and dates from 1987. If Steve comes in on schedule he will complete all the Wainwrights in 6 days, 14 hours and 11 minutes.
