Similar to Robbie Bryson's 15 Irish 3000s in 24 hours and bike between. Match that.

17:30 and not far from Llanberis, he is looking OK.
Looks like he's completed the PBR in about 23:40.
And has set off for the Lakes after 4 hours rest.
Impressive stuff!
My wife Anne supported Mike Hartley on the PBR on his 3 rounds (Mike went from north to south) and said he was dead on his feet - completely not with it, falling asleep as he walked..
This guy's cycle up to Scotland after doing 2 rounds is bonkers! Respect though!!

Noticed he’s managed a massive stretch around Preston without GPS tracking. What’s gone on here? He was a fair bit down on his schedule, so has he had a lift to try and get back closer to it to start the BGR during tonight?
Noted: didn’t realise you could get time by clicking on the dot. He’s at Threkeld, about 14 hours behind his schedule.
He completed the BGR in just under 24 hours, had a sleep for a few hours, started the cycle up towards Glen Nevis, but quite quickly called it a day as he felt unsafe on the bike ( falling asleep ).
So, 2 sub-24 hour rounds and a 170-odd mile cycle all in terrible weather - not a bad wee outing :-)
