At a Paul Tierney film/ talk yesterday and he said someone's having a winter attempt at the wainwrights loop starting this weekend, with an eye to having a pop at the record proper in the summer.
Apparently a mountaineer, not a member of the fell running community, so he doesn't know much about it.
Any word on UKC forums or elsewhere, or is it pretty low key?
Given Steve B's recovery from his round, and that Paul's still feeling a bit off after his, 2 goes in one year strikes me as ambitious/foolhardy (delete as appropriate) but good luck to them!
