Very impressive. I have a lot of respect for guys who do extreme running. My ex boss did the jungle marathon this year but didn't manage to complete it. He went down on day 3 with heat exaushtion, the run is 125 miles through the amazon!!! He is going back next year as an orgainizer.

Superb!:thumb: Your dad and his mate have bl'ddy well done!:)

Respect to him that is one hell of a hard dad...
