The Lewes Marathon

[Sweder]

Rob pointed out an interesting fact about this route. It is perhaps the only full marathon where one can see the entire route from several points along the course.

Paused at Blackcap we scanned the horizon from south west to east. Sure enough all the peaks were clearly visible, as were some of the veinous interconnecting white chalk trails. My attempts to capture the vista through a sequence of photos on my phone failed. The impact of seeing the challenge laid out before us was breathtaking, not to mention daunting. A bonus feature on what is turning out to be a cracking route.
