I did have various discussions with Nicky some weeks ago and she is working from Fred's list on the website; she already had an old hand written copy.Quote:

I am just really happy that someone has finally had a go at Ann's long-standing record.
From the Racekit twitter feed:
Nicky's still 36 mins up on schedule but suffering a few stomach issues.
It'll be warm out there today!
Again from Racekit:
Nicky through Wasdale 16.24, still 36mins up on schedule.
The hot weather's affecting her stomach but she's as determined as ever!
Whatever the final outcome this is some run.
17.14 ... reports from Stirrup Crag that Nicky's OK and still 40 mins up.
She's doing really well by the sound of it. Fingers crossed, she's not far off now, hottest part of the day over and done with too :)
Keeping my eyes on the DPFR website and waiting (im) patiently for updates. Similar to when looking for Jez Brags progress in the Western States 100.
Lookong forward to reading of success tomorrow morning - heres to a good nights running.
"19.54 Still 40 mins up at Steeple. Road support getting ready to leave for Honister."
21.54 News from Honister is that Nicky is 60 mins up on schedule
From the DPFR website.
23.12 still 56 mins up leaving Newlands Hause on the last leg.
64 Peaks!!
Fantastic.
Well done to Nicky.
Congratulations to Nicky for an awesome achievement. Well done to her support and all involved, (DPFR).

:D Brilliant Nicky! Well done. Big kiss xxxxxxxxx
That's excellent news, sounds like an immense run. Good work
Totally Inspiring!
Great run Nicky, well done.
Congratulations to Nicky on a fantastic achievement. I look forward to reading her report.
A big thank you to DPFR for the updates on their site.
Congratulations to Nicky, superb achievement :)
Well done Nicky, inspiring stuff:thumbup:
Well done Nicky, a brilliant achievement and awe inspiring.
Congratulations, a great achievement.
What a performance, Nicky is a legend. Probably the most focused person i know to the point of stubberness. Awesome effort in the conditions throught the day which was very warm, the night was so perfect as to be unbelievable. hardly a breath of wind and so clear. A mindblowing sky to the north proved that even the weather gods were smiling on Nicky, Well done to the whole team.Quote:

At the finish at approx 2.45am there were 30-40 supporters, family and friends gathered to cheer her in followed by Champagne and beer to toast her success. Nicky Sat in a chair with a huge grin as she recieved hugs from every one.
The party continued at the campsite for those who could keep awake until 4.30am with more beer and whisky.
Anne Johnson turned up again as Nicky was taken out for a celebratory meal after a lazy morning(for most) on the campsite.
One wonders what great feat Nicky will come up with next.
Some pics from RaceKit
Well done "Nails":w00t::thumbup::))
Awesome! :D
What a fantastic achievement - very well done to Nicky.
The fact that Anne's record has endured for 17 years is testimony to how tough a day this was.
'Nails' is very appropriate IDP!
What were Nicky's extra 2 peaks?
Heard the good news at Skiddaw today, job's a good un, congratulations.
Fantastic achievement nicky. Very well done and also well done to all those who helped out.
Look forward to a report
just done a bit of research and it's called Noctilucent cloud, very rare and only occurs at certain times in conjunction with certain weather condition.Quote:

This is the best picture I caught this morning.
Cheers Ian It is very hard image to take. From the summit of Causey Pike it covered the whole of the northern sky, As I started to climb it was like the sky was on fire, By the time we descended it hard turned bluer.Quote:

Coming towards the end of my event, I agree with those on here with an eye for a good night-time photo, the sky was stunning, and they really were perfect night conditions.
Nicky, this is some record to have set...congrats.
Superb, on a bit of a warm day too. Seems she had time for another peak or two ;-) Legend
Amazing! I was roasting at the Saunders. That is some achievement.
This is almost as good as the sky we had but with Skiddaw in the foregroundQuote:

(thanks Nick)
Awesome achievement, the sort of which most of us could only dream of... well done :thumbup:
Well done Nicky a brilliant achievement.
Congratulations. Amazing.
very, very well done nicky. you looked like you were moving well up great end. I thought it was you as I descended with my son, Ben and his friend Harry, but wasn't sure to start with, then I saw Yiannis and he told me what you were up to. Yiannis seemed very concerned he wouldn't catch up if he stopped to chat to me! What a day to do it on - one of the best, enjoyed by the hoardes on scafell pike including a man in a banana costume.
John, it was nice meeting you up there. I never saw the banana man on Scafell Pike. Mind you, there was little spare time to look around as Nicky was pushing on relentlessly. We just managed to squeeze in a short photo session by the trig point.Quote:
