I assume the 24hr Peaks record looking at the track?
Interesting. Kim's winter Round was fast enough to be on the list of all time top ten times so he's obviously feeling pretty strong. If managed carefully, Lockdown could well have aided many long distance attempts in that there's been limited chances to accumulate stress and damage.
There's a surprising number of planned attempts at double BGs as well. Surprising as in almost as many as there have been successes to date!
Remind us Bob please, how many double BG to date?
Four, apparentlyQuote:

Yes, just four. Not sure how many attempts there have been, would need a trawl through the old editions of the FellRunner to figure out.
What's Kim's extra peak or is he going for a faster time?
I'm also assuming Kim and Sabrina's paths will cross at some point this evening/tonight.
He’s doing Adam Perry’s route but with Haycock and minus Fleetwith according to to what I heard. Gone straight through Wasdale
Think he must've switched up the plan as he's not doing Haycock now. Interesting as the splits suggest it was in the plan and he was about 25 minutes up on his schedule at Red Pike.Quote:

He's gone Fleetwith. Makes sense as it's not much further than Haycock and less climb, plus the run down to Honister from there is easy. Looks like he'll be about 10 minutes up on his schedule at Honister. Guessing this must be hurting now! Good luck to him.
Could be history in the making. Go Kim!
And he's done it!
78 tops in 23:45
Well done to him! Some friends (socially distanced) paced him for a bit.
