Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Zp mid winter is from the weekend before the shortest day until the first period of decent weather after the shortest day but no later than 10th of Jan. So maximum period is 3 weeks but may well be less.

Lovely, thanks. Not much daylight to be running in, then, don't envy him! Definitely be some achievement if he can manage it, one to watch for sure.

It will be interesting to see how he approaches it. For me you have to do the Ramsay first because it's the hardest, particularly in winter but it's also the one where the 'mid-winter' definition is likely to last the longest there by giving you the biggest window....

Has anyone even done a winter Ramsay Round in 24 hours (Jim Mann maybe) never mind solo, unsupported that John is aiming at?

There have been 4 AFAIK. Jon Gay, Donnie Campbell, Jim Mann and Graham Nash with Jim's the fastest. Graham has incidentally got 6 completions of the round to his name I think including the winter one.

Six is bloody impressive given how rare it is at all to do.

Tracking link in here somewhere:

Tomorrow at 7 AM UK time I'll be setting off on what will hopefully be my 1st of 3 solo mid winter adventures. I'll be doing the Paddy Buckley Round clockwise starting at Capel Curig. @russell_runner was planning a go at around the same time, so we decided to set off at the same time in opposite directions. Tracking link: https://live.opentracking.co.uk/jkvsrb21/.

We have slightly different goals, but are excited to share what should be a beautiful day out in Snowdonia. Russell is an incredible runner who probably knows this round well enough to do it blind folded, and I'm eager to see what he can do, hopefully with a bit of extra motivation knowing someone else is out there. I'm also excited to know that if I get stuck in a bog on my first half (which is where all the bogs are) that he'll eventually be around to pull me out.

Both of our rounds are solo and unsupported, so if you do happen to be in the area please don't intentionally meet us anywhere other than the finish. The only way to support (and a much appreciated one!) would be to send a donation to Action Medical Research through the link on the info tab of the tracker page. A huge thank you goes to Russell for helping support this cause.
