DavidAP Jul 2018 2:21pm, 8 Jul 2018 552 posts	Quote Pin DavidAP Totally incredible. Will it upset some traditionalist if he does it?
phal Jul 2018 3:08pm, 8 Jul 2018 2,339 posts	Quote Pin phal Why should it? What has he not done that is non-traditional? Sounds like he has been very thoughtful about how he’s gone about it all.
Northern Exile Jul 2018 3:25pm, 8 Jul 2018 4,699 posts	Quote Pin Northern Exile I agree with Phal. He's been very respectful of the tradition of the BG and has made sure not to try it in isolation. If he breaks the record - as seems likely - then it will highlight the enormity of Billy's original record and win him even more respect.
Velociraptor Jul 2018 3:34pm, 8 Jul 2018 38,567 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor I've been wondering what's been going on while I was out on my bike. I can't think anyone will begrudge Kilian the record if he takes it. Least of all Billy Bland, who, I get the impression, would also have been happy to see Ricky Lightfoot take it.
Derby Tup Jul 2018 3:59pm, 8 Jul 2018 26,281 posts	Quote Pin Derby Tup Anne Bland’s comment earlier (if correct) says it all. It’s not the lad’s fault he wasn’t born into five generations of Borrowdale shepherds and it appears he totally respects the Lakeland traditions - he’ll no doubt be on the Snecky later
