"I came off social media because of the abuse I was getting," said 'The Asp' after his second nightly win, in Aberdeen a week ago.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast about 24 hours after he had crossed the finish line, Goodge said "it's the toughest thing I've ever done".Along the way Goodge ran through a dust storm, lost several toenails, and suffered from injuries, including rotting feet and bone pain, which sometimes caused him to hallucinate.

"It was full-on from start to finish," he told the BBC, adding the first nine days were particularly hard.The Nullabor Plain - a vast area of desert that crosses from Western Australia to South Australia - was also "unforgiving", he said.Surprisingly though, Goodge said he was "feeling very comfortable" now that the run was over.

Moments after crossing the finish line, Goodge placed a bunch of flowers on Bondi's famous shoreline in memory of his late mother."She was the most special person in my life," he told the Guardian Australia, adding, "she would be proud of everything I've done - she'd also be concerned".

Goodge said thinking about how his mother battled cancer was crucial during his journey, and helped him overlook his own suffering.

"In the moments where it's tough, I'll think back to those times, I think about the woman she was, and how she handled herself, and how she supported me," he told the Sydney Morning Herald.A man is seeking permission to demolish his own cottage in Wellington, near Hereford, because repeated flooding has made it a liability.

However, a Herefordshire Council ecology officer has opposed the bid to take down the former stable near the village's brook.In his application, homeowner Nick Jones said he had spent 10 years maintaining and repairing his home, including installing flood defences, but Vinery Cottage in Mill Lane was uninsurable, uninhabitable and could not be rented.

Ecology officer James Bisset said the building offered potential features for bat roosting which "has previously been recorded in the locality".Papers said Mr Jones was not able to insure the building or contents, and maintenance and repair costs after successive floods exceeded any realistic rental value.
