Over 2 months has now passed since the A2A (www.arch2arc.com), giving me plenty of time to think about the next challenge.  The A2A hosts the UK's (and possibly the world's) most challenging swim and the fact that one has to run 87 miles before hand makes it a tough event to top on the gruelling scale.  Doing a 'Deca' is an obvious choice, but it doesn't have the same 'will I or wont I' factor that the A2A has.  Don't get me wrong, it will be a awesome test of mind and body but I believe that if the body holds out, I would make it to the finish.  I've been throwing a few ideas around for a few weeks and I have come up the following challenge.....

Hire one lane of a pool near to John O'Groats for the day and swim 24 miles, bike 1120 miles from Joh O'Groats to Lands End and then run 262 miles along the Great South West Coastal Path in the direction of Weymouth.

This challenge would host the UK's most famous bike route and most famous walking path.  I have spoken with a couple of friends who are 'interested' in doing it with me.  If you are up for it - let me know.
