Well done to @thatrosssimpson, who has just completed his 3000km run from Canterbury to Sicily despite thinking he might have broken his foot going into the last day. We covered his story partway through a couple of weeks ago:

UK to Sicily Run Day 80: What a day today was. After wild camping in the mountains I headed down past wild horses, cows and bulls (with the sharpest horns I've ever seen). At one point a… https://t.co/Da12XEJGXD
