In the male category, as a true "allrounder" it's got to be Billy Bland; from setting his 13 hours 54 minutes record for the BG ( It's now 26 years old ) to turning out and winning the Fleetwith Pike Race (AS), outright, as a V40. And in between he had multiple wins in all of what are now termed 'The Lakes Classics' and plenty of AS & AM wins.
Joss has a better record in the real ultra stuff and some AL wins, but not much in AS's & AM's
Kenny had a great record in races, but never tackled any true ultra stuff.
JUST GOT TO BE KING BILLY!!
PLUS he could navigate, plenty of Trial & 'O' event wins. Kenny would never have set his Ennerdale record if Billy had not shown him the way round - Kenny's own words at the time!
