How about this ?
Bob Graham's route was completed in order to set a new Lakeland 24 Hour Round record.
So the BG is an instance of the 24 Hour Round.
It is Bob Graham's 24 Hour Round
Anyone claiming to have completed a "Round" should have done it inside 24 hours.
Anyone wishing to complete the route can take as long as they like - and, of course, thoroughly enjoy the experience

I think you're being more than a bit generous there DT. I'd have thought you're looking at top 1% at least. Let's face it, for anyone who has actually been out and gone around the route in under 24 hours, the very idea that you could walk it doesn't even enter your head.
Agreed. This is all getting a little silly.
Perhaps it's also worth also stressing the word 'claimed' and reflecting on how important that really is to anybody. For all intents and purposes solo unsupported round is no different in it's status with the club than a fully witnessed round that does not submit it's details for ratification. However, the club does not own the round. Bob Graham was not a member of the club, by some people's reasoning that means he didn't complete his round...
When I did my round 2 years ago, on a very hot day in July, another guy set off from the moot hall in the opposite direction at the same time. He was going completely solo, and being from Scotland had very little knowledge of the route. He had no support - he had to make detours for water. I ran in to him again at Pike O stickle, but he was gone by the time I reached the end having completed an hour quicker than me. Who performed to the highest standard?
Its pretty much right for me too. It's all a bit of grey area!!
