Friend of mine made an attempt with LDWA folk as support. It was a bit of a disaster.

No doubt they could go all day but the group he had wasn't fast enough, they weren't used to big climbs and had little to no knowledge of the route.

I'm sure an LDWA member who decided to train for it specifically and learn the route and lines etc would crack it though.

I am sure you will find that there have been plenty of attempts by folks with runners in support that have ended as bit of a disaster and for the same reasons

Boyd Millen was a LDWA member and completed a double BGR in 52hrs 30 in 1977 I think It was and I think he was member 14 of the BG club after completing the BGR in 1973.
I think you would find that plenty of LDWA members are well capable of doing the BGR should they have a mind to, in fact I know some that have, but a lot are modestl and have a tendency just to do things and move on to their next challenge without making a song and dance about what they have done.
