Does anyone know if this fella has actually done this yet?

Or is he too knackered to tell anyone about it?!

My mate knows the chap in question - he did it in 43 hours

Awesome

Yeah, fair enough, but it was only Coniston - surely Windermere would have provided a better challenge

There is a report on it here:

Totally astounding, particularly as the weather wasn't great.

... and fancy only doing the BGR in 27 hours??? Reckon he should do it all again so he can have a go at getting under 24 hours?!!!!

Fair play to the fella... that's some acheivement. Have to put a few bob in his fund for that.

Any volunteers who want to beat his time...!?
