50 not out...

Mike is nail-bitingly, eleven miles out of the finish with just 2hrs and 45mins of the day left. He looks like he will get there with just seconds to spare.

4mph is all that is now needed to make it happen, although he now has the darkness of the night slowing him down.

So, Tarporley is finally in sight and we will be out to guide him in on his last couple of miles into the beautiful town centre and the warmth of the sleeper coach.

More at 11.30pm...
