Derby Tup Jun 2019 7:24am, 10 Jun 2019 32,048 posts	0 Derby Tup They’d have been disappointed I guess with 24:00:01 especially if the 24 hours elapsed going up those steps - good effort whatever
Northern Exile Jun 2019 10:52am, 17 Jun 2019 5,168 posts	0 Northern Exile Was on JNC support over the weekend and the BG "circus" was in full swing at Dunmail ... incredible to see so many vehicles lined up when coming over Seat Sandal. I see that a guy from Belgium completed. Looking at the characters involved in support, am wondering if this was a "paid" round. Am guessing so.

Northern Exile Jun 2019 10:17am, 20 Jun 2019 5,183 posts	0 Northern Exile Yeah, read it last night. It's long, but well-written and worth the effort. Makes you proud that he came away with such a positive impression of the fell-running community.
Roberto Jun 2019 11:29am, 20 Jun 2019 648 posts	0 Roberto I know it's not the BGR but a man called Paul Tierney about to break the record for completing all the Wainwrights. Was over 7 hours ahead or Steve Birkinshaws record with 10 fells to go. Incredible
Northern Exile Jun 2019 11:39am, 20 Jun 2019 5,184 posts	0 Northern Exile Roberto - have a look at the Fetch Fell Runners thread, quite a bit of chat there about a man called Paul Tierney

flyingfinn Jun 2019 10:07am, 21 Jun 2019 1,285 posts	0 flyingfinn In the midst of all the justified noise around Paul Tierney's incredible feat it seems that Damian Hall has sneaked a Paddy Buckley record below the radar on Wednesday. There was a suggestion that appeared yesterday based on his ~~strava~~ log but it seemed to get drowned out. However, this morning he has tweeted to confirm that he got round in 17.31 to take 10/11 minutes off the existing record.
