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!)
The following section uses the data from the list of the completions of standard rounds, that list is complete to the end of last year - (2023). Select options from the drop down lists to see the relevant data.
We have recorded the times of all completions of this challenge. The current fastest time has a gold background.
There is no standard set of peaks for this challenge, hover your mouse over each name to see the extra peaks that person visited.
