    Solo/unsupported BGR

    The February 1992 Fellrunner mag has a note in Martin Stone's column saying that in 1991 Colin Donnelly 'in June ... did a solo and unsupported Bob Graham Round'.
    In thinking who might have had a crack at a good time I wondered about his capability, and have only recently seen that brief note.
    Does anyone know what time he took? Or have any further information on it?

    As it was a solo & unsupported round, it would not have been witnessed or verified. Hence it is unlikely that it will be officially on record within the BGR Club archives. Like as not Colin Donnelly would have been very nippy.
    I was a bit of an oddball until I was abducted by aliens; but I'm perfectly OK now!

    Ian's correct. I checked last night, CD hasn't done a witnessed/supported round though I suspect he's not bothered.

    Colin sometimes runs with a very good friend of mine, I can ask for some details if I remember when I see him next.

    Of course, the other option would be to contact Martin Stone ( either via his SportIdent business or his contact details in his long distance diary in FRM ) and ask if he has the details archived?
