Exactly! People are mixing up two seperate things: 1) The Bob Graham route is just that - a route around the hills. Go and do it over 3 days if you fancy, you've still done the route. 2) The Bob Graham Club - if you want to be part of this (and it's not compulsory!) then you need to do it under 24 hours, whatever the weather, whatever else you come up against. If you get round in 26 hours when you were wanting to be in the club....well, tough, not this time. Try again. Weather FFS? We're in the mountains. I've seen one friend in particular battle around over half of the route twice in horrendous conditions before calling it a day. He returned and completed on a better day. That's why it's a real challenge still!
