BOB GRAHAM ROUND KESWICK 29/30.08.10


An exhausted but jubilant Stuart Williams (centere) is flanked by support runners Chris Lloyd ((l) and Gary Johnston on the steps of Keswick's Moot Hall at the end of Stuart's epic Bob Graham Round.

Nick Hume writes:

"BWFAC's Stuart Williams completed the Bob Graham Round - forty-two Lake District peaks in twenty-four hours - in 21 hours 46 minutes after setting off from the Moot Hall Keswick on Sunday 29/8/10 at 02.30 a.m. and arriving back at 00.14 a.m. on Monday 30/8/10.
The weather was not ideal, especially on Stage 1 with blizzard-like conditions to contend with but a little later the clouds lifted although the strong winds were a constant until around 22.00 on the final stage back into Keswick.
After a hefty bribe (bill to Andrea) a finish line was erected and a tired but delighted Stuart ran through to touch the Moot Hall to great cheers from his small band of supporters (not to mention assorted drunks).
Thanks to all the support runners and drivers who made this successful attempt possible. I am sure further details will emerge but this is to acknowledge this achievement by a flat land runner from the Fylde."
