Is it actually possible to run in a perfectly straight line? Heather & James decided to find out by attempting one of our most ridiculous challenges ever: a straight-line ultramarathon across the wild and unpredictable terrain of Dartmoor!
The rules were simple: follow a perfectly straight line on the GPS, no matter what stood in the way. What sounds simple on a map quickly becomes a brutal battle against bogs, thorns, and rivers.
This is a story of adventure, endurance, and the hilarious reality of what happens when a perfect plan meets the chaos of nature.
