The team - some of them anyway
Straight into a steep climb at the start - that got the heart rate going!
The Beachy Head Marathon tradition - the piper
Plodding Hippo on her 27th marathon and 4th in 2 months!
Some big views from the ridge
The support team: Gill and Margaret at checkpoint 1
Alfriston
A big climb out of Alfriston and the reward at the top
Checkpoint 2 and Digimoments
Tracy arrives at checkpoint 2 at Bo Peep
And then it's on again along the ridge
and again some great views
The white horse near Litlington, checkpoint 3
The beautiful Cuckmere valley
A big climb out of the valley for a view of Cuckmere Haven and...
The Seven Sisters!
A little sister - easy running
and then a big sister - ouch!
Things were getting serious at this point so I handed my camera over to Gill at the final checkpoint at Birling Gap.
More words to follow...

An amazing event! Would recommend to anyone. Be prepared it takes a lot out of you!
My husband and I are doing the 2008 one, walking it mind not running it!!
Hi - I was just reading your blog, and wondered if you could tell me exactly where that chalk pit is - the one that is pictured from the ridge you ran along.
I'm making a film, and it looks like the ideal location.
Many thanks,
Oliver.
