The journey of Frank to the Bob Graham round challenge
Bob Graham Challenge
The Bob Graham Round is a fell running challenge in the English Lake District. It is named after Bob Graham (1889–1966), a Keswick guest-house owner, who in June 1932 broke the Lakeland Fell record by traversing 42 fells within a 24-hour period.
The Round was first repeated, in a better time, in 1960 by Alan Heaton. Since then over 1900 individuals have completed the Round with the fastest time being 13hr 53m set by Billy Bland in 1982, the ladies record being 15hr 24m set by Jasmin Paris in 2016. The Lakeland 24 Hour record has also been improved with the current holder, Mark Hartell, successfully reaching 77 summits in the allotted time.
Along with the Paddy Buckley Round and Ramsay Round, the Bob Graham Round is one of the classic big three mountain challenges in the UK. Some thirty individuals have completed all three.
The 16th of august i go to the Lake district to walk the round of Graham in 4 days. That means that you walk every day a distance of 16.5 miles. Every night i will camp in the mountains so that i can start the next morning again do to the next part of the round.
