I hope he does attempt the record, several times. If he eventually breaks the record he will have then earned the title of record holder. Everyone attempting the BGR should respect the history and ethos of the round and reccy the complete route and not be parachuted in with a support party and be carried round. Jasmine Paris demonstrated that philosophy before she made her record double round. As did Nicky Spinks before her superb 11:02 JNLC run in April.
