Bob Graham for Sir Ran

[ajohns352000]

To be fair the old b*gger has Water-shedded (HPM'd), more than once & plainly much much more....

And to be unfair, I suspect there is money involved, which is completely against my understanding of the ethos.... but, I'm often wrong... and perhaps "young" Bob G was seeking fame & publicity too....

Hmmmmm?

I also expect... the "charity" word will feature somewhere in this pursuit and if it does, and if it is really valid in the "right" cause & direction, and there is no benefit to the participants, I'm sure we will be happy & shouting on the day...

Watch this space?? or Knott..

Wise words as ever Luvshack

I bet they have camera crews following him and it becomes a documentary. Is this what fell running wants?

Presumably you would object to Joss's effort ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Naylors-Run-.../dp/B00004CTV7 ) on the same basis?

Good luck to him - whats the problem?

He's recognised nationally as an explorer/adventurer, so I hardly think a Bob Graham documentary following him is going to encourage the masses to follow suit...

I do not remember objecting. Just being a bit cynical about peoples motives.

As someone 6 weeks away from an attempt ( ), i'm kind of impressed that he sees it as a challenge comparable to some of the others he's done - although that also makes me nervous...

[Mountain Hare]

I wonder who'll be quicker - ST or Sir Ran? I can guess who'll have spent the most on their attempt

Keep us posted ST - after Old County Tops on Sarurday I'm just beginning to realise the sheer enormity of the challenge you're taking on.

Aye good luck ST. And good luck to Sir Ran, if ever there was a great role model for the children it must be Ran, real boys own life. Hope you both complete safely.

Ta fellas

Agree about Sir Ran - there's a man with an awesome list of achievements.

As for who will be quickest, so long as i;me quicker than 23:59:59.9999, I'm not bothered

Off to support a BGR attempt at the weekend, legs 2 and 3. Exciting stuff!

Hmmmm....

Guess I did sound rather cynical & somewhat disparaging too...
and as one who has shared the odd long cold dark night with Sir R & his pals, I’d agree he is a good bloke, and an excellent mole rodel to the young of all ages!!

Best of Luck to Sir R & ST, and Geoff B & Dan R and the others bent on a BG this year…….. it’s a cracking route!

I'll certainly see some, if not all, of you along the shining path...
