Thread: Fred Whitton, Bob Graham

    Fred Whitton, Bob Graham

    Just day dreaming, how about a fred Whitton under 10 hrs, straight into Bob Graham round,
    in 23 hrs 59 mins or if your going well a bit quicker.

    Got to be some nutter out there that would take it on?

    Am I just day dreaming, or could this catch on?

    Think someone did exactly this but plus a swim across one of the major Lakes to start with?

    Don't think they broke 24 hours for the BG leg though - so they must have been a bit rubbish :-)

    Brue Duncan the adventure racer did one of these "novelty events"

    There's also the guy Simon a very occasional poster on here. He is the fella who BG trained in tower blocks. iirc he did something along similar lines. I was in touch with him and will try to dig out info on what he was doing. Coniston Water was involved - again iirc

    Does remembering this make me a stalker, a nerd or both?

    Tim Mosedale is also one of the very few people to have done the Frog Graham. I think his wife (Ali) has also done it.
