    That will be 9 days faster than the previous record held by Charlie Campbell since 2000!
    A quite fabulous achievement.

    Brilliant effort Spyke.

    Knowing just how "big" some of those days on the hills are, I'm in awe at this.

    Well done to Spyke.

    Just got news that Spyke finish this little outing at about 3.40 today. Little under 39 days 11hours I think beating the old record of 48days and 12hours. I realised what a superb effort it was to keep going day after day when I accompanied him for a few days. I really think that he will hold on to this record for some years. Really chuffed for him. Well done Spyke.

    Tremendous news. Well done Steve and well done to all those who have supported him on his adventure. Special thanks must go to JC who has been chief cook and bottle washer for the whole six weeks. Also great news that Steve has raised £1557.00 so far for the John Muir trust, if you would like to make a donation you can at http://www.justgiving.com/spykes-munro-round.

    Im coming with you next time.....

    Well done Spyke.
    Great how you can watch someones progress on challenges like this on the blogs. I was on there most days watching how many blobs had changed colour on the map. Utterly brilliant how he kept to the schedule. Local chap too, I live in Stafford which is only a few miles from Stone. I wonder if this will make the local rag?

    Ammazing effort. Well done. Don't want to be racing him in 2 or 3 weeks time when he is rested up after that training effort.
