The Bob Graham 24 Hour Club

Records

For many members of the Club, achievement of the 42 Peaks Round in under 24 hours is their sole goal. But as Selwyn records in his Introduction there have been some ‘extraordinary achievements’ across the Lakeland Fells since 1960. Here are some of them (and apologies in advance for any errors, or if your list would be different to this one!)

• A tilde ‘~’ for membership number indicates that the person is not a club member.
• A column with a lighter background indicates that it is a sub-total of other columns in the table.
• A column with a light gold background indicates that it is derived data, such as a percentage.

For the two challenges below, The Wainwrights and Steve Parr Rounds, we currently maintain the data. However if in future they become more popular it may be that they have their own dedicated websites in which case we will simply link to those.

Challenges such as the Frog Graham Round and the Joss Naylor Challenge either have their own website or are curated by individuals or clubs. A web search should find the relevant information. Completion details for those club members who have completed any of them may be found through the Membership Lists page.
