    Agreed. I hate to think how many bits really hurt after such a super human effort. Think how many steps she took, how many times each hip/ankle had to flex. And then there is the sleep deprivation. Sabrina is a real star.

    Indeed. Those of us who become lethargic or irritable if we don't get our 7 hours of sleep at night simply don't understand how it is possible to keep going for nearly seven days without any proper sleep. And apparently it was a knee injury rather than the sleep deprivation that caused her to slow down on Saturday.

    Has anybody ever declined joining the BG club for similar reasons?

    As in:
    I got round in under 24hrs but <insert transgression here>
    There's been a small number, certainly less than ten, who've done part of the Round solo so have submitted a form but stated that it's for the records and they don't expect to become members.

    Such an admission is almost more admirable than the completion of such a herculean task. Restores ones faith in decent humanity. Hats off to you Sabrina, and I really look forward to seeing you have another crack at it.

    I saw on the front of a Keswick newspaper this evening, someone has completed the fastest solo unsupported round of the Wainwrights.... Around 14 days.

    I didn't recognise the name.
