Hi Toby,
I just posted the following over on the other Spine related thread, which is likely to be relevant as I am pretty confident that feet/footwear/footcare will come up within the article:
" I too am intrigued, hence asked Nikki Sommers - who came 4th in the women's category - if she could write an article for us based around her experiences of the event.
From the outside looking in it's quite hard to grasp how exactly you'd approach the race given that it doesn't have distinct stages such as the Dragon's Back/Cape Wrath Ultra. As a result there's a lot of tactics involved around when to rest and when to push on, how far to push yourself, and how lightweight you choose to go given that the weather is clearly going to be awful.
Not sure of an exact ETA, as Nikki has just got back to work, but keep an eye out - it's definitely coming."
