    Well done to them for having a go. We were on the top of Helvellyn yesterday and you could hardly stand up, can only imagine how cold it would have been during the night!

    Respect for anyone up there on the longest night. Another store of memories, that's for sure!

    Much respect to all of them and pacers. It must have been tough out last night. Do any of them blog?

    Ed, Tom and John's attempt were the only registered attempts (though John is already a club member so didn't actually need to register). It might be an existing member.

    I believe Tom Hollins of Wharfdale made it round the night before, not sure of how long it took. Was supposed to be on support but I'm out of action with illness.

    Respect to all concerned. I wasn't out during the day so can't comment on the conditions as such, but any attempt this time of year is exceptional...completion or not! Great demonstration of mountain skills, which to my mind, is a lot of what the BGR is about.

    Tom got round in 23:52, posted on FB - absolutely incredible in that weather. Well done Tom!

    Well done Tom - quite simply an achievement to savour for a lifetime. Hope you recover well. Mark
