Had a good day today. Did the Wasdale to Honister leg in 4hrs 50mins. Was planning on having a cuppa with my parents at Honister slate mine but due to my faster than expect time decided to put off the cuppa until I'd done the next three hills, completed them in 2hrs. Shaved an hour off the Bob Graham round 24hr pacing!! Chuffed to miss the rain. Very windy though!
Can I just say a huge thanks to the Wasdale Head inn, their hospitality was fantastic!
To raise money for the John Muir Trust and WaterAid, my challenge was to traverse the UK BIG 3 mountain rounds in one BIG multi-day push - solo!! This included the Bob Graham Round (England), Paddy Buckley Round (Wales) and Ramsay Round (Scotland), and covers 187 miles, 113 mountain summits and 83,000ft of ascent (that's about 3 times Everest)! I tried to complete this challenge in ten days during May 2011. Read on to find out how it went....
