Just asked Dave Hewitt who immediately responded:

I only know of one previous Corbetts-specific single-take round, that
by Mike Wilson-Roberts in 1992. I corresponded a bit with Mike about
this a few years ago and as I recall he wasn't trying to set any
particularly target time, just to trundle round them all during a
summer. He started with the Brack on 3 March and ended on White Coomb 13 July, so that comes to 133 days all in.

There have been three other continuous Corbett rounds, but they have
all included at least one other hill group as well and hence were much
longer: Craig Caldwell (Munros+Corbetts) 1985/86, Peter Lincoln
(Munros+Corbetts+Grahams) 1997/98, and a rather mysterious massive
effort by Andrew Allum in 1996/97 taking in M+C+G plus Donalds and
also E+W 2000ers.

So MG has nearly halved MWR's time.
