I might upset a few people here, but I don't intend to, I am after a bit of clarification.
According to this website, http://www.runlakes.com/winter-on-the-fells.html, Steve Ashworth holds the winter BG record. But according to this one, and my understanding, http://www.bobgrahamclub.co.uk/index.php?page=winter Steve's round was mostly solo so it wasn't ratified.
Now, again, if I understand this right, you can self-ratify a round if you are already a member of the club, as Jim Mann was on his 20:39 round.
If I understand these rules correctly isn't it time for a bit of modernisation? Say, a round can be ratified by GPS track, or a photo at each summit would do the trick?
