Winter PBR

Has anyone ever done one? Just asking....

Tom Phillips set the record last year in epic conditions. There was a report in the Spring Fellrunner I think.

And here http://www.ukclimbing.com/news/item.php?id=69506

IainR

Apart from the two above,the only other Winter round on Paddy's list is Martin Stone's inaugural one on Dec 28/29 1989 in 23:40. That was solo, unsupported, as was Iain R's. Tom had a small support crew.

Iain R mentions John Fleetwood's, but that is undocumented.

Iain R & I both helped on John Fleetwood's winter PBR. He started in Llanberis and went clockwise. Can't remember the time now but it's either in a thread on here or John wrote an article for The Fellrunner but pretty certain it was over 24hrs. Actually it was 28hrs15mins - http://sarzmountainrun.blogspot.co.u...uckley-in.html

Well it's been a while! :) Too busy reproducing but they're getting old enough to forage for food so I'm looking for something interesting to aim at once my wife has done her summer marathon.
