Storm Boelo is expected to hit first the western areas before spreading eastwards over the course of the day. The edition also mentions an “amber” wind alert from Saturday 21:00 to Sunday 21:00, covering in particular the north of Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland and the far north of England, with gusts forecast at 60–70 mph, up to 80 mph on exposed coasts.
For Ultra X South Africa, the inaugural event ends today with a 25 km stage. The race covers 330 km with around 7,500 m of elevation gain across six stages, from the Western Cape vineyards to the Cederberg.
Lastly, Rebecca Hormann’s Ethels275 resumes a full-loop objective: she set off from Hope, in Derbyshire, on Thursday at 11:00. The article states that she is aiming to link the 95 Ethels of the Peak District over roughly 443 km (275 miles), with more than 12,190 m of elevation gain, and that at 10:20 this morning she had completed 50 of the 95.
