The Green Man Ultra
Six goes round Bristol
The Winter Green Man Ultra is 45 miles round Bristol's Community Forest Path, in March, which mostly means mud. It was my first ever ultra, and I've been back five times since. The book is about the fifth go, the one with snow and floods, and the map and stats from all six are here.
