A proposito di questo titolo
In this episode of Notes from Big Trails, Rob speaks with Mel Sykes about completing the winter Spine Race — a 268-mile, non-stop race along the Pennine Way in January.
Mel talks about:
What makes the winter Spine fundamentally different from long summer ultras
Moving for days in darkness and learning to manage sleep deprivation
Hallucinations, emotional swings, and the strange logic of extreme fatigue
The Pennine Way as a place — hostile, boring, beautiful, and absorbing
Small acts of kindness that land differently when you’re exhausted
Why reaching Hadrian’s Wall and Cross Fell mattered so much
The reality of finishing: relief, exhaustion, and delayed pride
What events like this teach you — and what they’re often misunderstood to be about
This is a conversation about endurance, attention, and keeping going.
