    But a bugger to compile for Brian.

    It's not too bad looking for rounds with times beginning with 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 but those beginning with 23................plenty of those.

    There were two 23.56s in 2010 alone...........

    Just to confirm that 17h 20m is correct for me, although it was 2006 when I did it as Andy K said. If only I was that fit now!

    "Just knocking on the door" of the top 10 is Mike Johnson with 17:49 in 2009, just 6 months or so before his 50th birthday!

    Much thinner on the ground Daz. Bob may turn up with some info.

    Only 2 sub-20 I think.

    Anne Johnson's record as referred to above and Helene Whitaker's 19 odd hour round which preceded it.
