    That would be a big ask, think I heard somewhere that for an average person the Paddy is an hour longer than a Bob Graham. Very well done Nicky

    Very Well done Nicky. I think the Paddy is the toughest of the lot. To go round twice at any speed is beyond super human.

    Someone tweeted their congratulations on completing a double Paddy Buckley and had an almost instantaneous response that it was not a double PB as the second leg was not under 24 hours. Sums up Twitter nicely methinks!

    Well, they are obviously not very well initiated as the PBR doesn't stipulate a sub 4 hour completion. Thee are several people on Paddys register who have completed in over 24 hours.

    Here, here; you beat me to it.
    Paddy never did stipulate a time, just that the round should be completed as "one journey". PBR member #1 took around 27 hours.
    BUT you do need to be under 24 hours if your PBR is to get you into the "Big 3 Club".

    I was a bit of an oddball until I was abducted by aliens; but I'm perfectly OK now!

    Including me and Sue. We walked the route over two days with a wild camp below Yr Aran. Paddy checked with Wendy and they were happy that it counted as a 'Continuous journey'.

    That is interesting Ian. I hadn't thought of that. So only Paddy's with a sub 24 are on all 3 completers list. I would think there are some all 3 completers therefore who have come up an hour or two short and therefore failed to make the cut!! That leaves a dilemma as to whether they then go and try it again., when you've already given everything you have.
