This just in from our laura in the Shetlands I claim mainland Shetland in the name of SkateFurther. Hardest 100 miles of my life. Going to Unst to come back with the wind behind me. All is rad, hills are huge, people are kind, I’m tired but we continue! 75 skating, 25 hiking due to terrain and head wind...
On Thursday of this week, long time forum member, holder of the prestigious title of ’1st woman to skate 100 miles in 24 hours’, web-designer, blog writer and general all-round good egg; Laura Hatwell will be setting off on an epic skateboarding trip called Perimeter. Her website tells us a litte about this whirlwind of a girl: I’ve been...
This just in from Tom who is driving the support vehicle for Ben Colchester-Hall’s attempt at the John O’Groats to Land’s End skate record. Howdy all, update number three here. Its late evening of day 17 as I write this, and we are currently in Bristol. In the intervening days since you were last informed of Bens where-abouts he has blasted down...

From...
Looks like the police weren’t to happy with Ben being alone on the notorious A9 (those of you who have driven on it know it well!) so he had to take a detour today. 40 miles skating and 10 miles walking for a 25 mile gain. He’s resting up in a B&B in Inverness as we speak and is...
Forum member and SkateFurther founder Ben Hall is currently making his way south from John O’Groats. Ben is aiming to beat the current JOG-LE record set by Ben Stiff last year. Ben is travelling solo with a rucksack after ditching his trailer due to reliability issues. Ben joined the masses at last weekends Bath to Bristol wearing his full...
A few of us are going to be heading towards Dorney Lake on the 17th (this coming Wednesday) for a lap or two. For those of you not in the know, Dorney is distance skating heaven. 3 mile loop of perfect flat tarmac. Ideal for LDP and amazing for pushing. Just look! There is a forum thread about the day...
