Dave A Apr 2022 6:21am, 8 Apr 2022 23,375 posts	0 Dave A Apparently it’s not about the result, but trying in the first place that counts. I wonder if there will be regular selfie updates as he goes along.

flyingfinn Apr 2022 8:35am, 8 Apr 2022 3,208 posts	0 flyingfinn I think the idea is you're supposed to touch the water at each location. Apparently it’s not about the result, but trying in the first place that counts. Ah! and there was me thinking it was just about the self-publicity 😉

flyingfinn Apr 2022 9:18am, 8 Apr 2022 3,209 posts	0 flyingfinn There have been 19 official completions (full list here https://achille-ratti-climbing-club.co.uk/?page_id=304), though someone I thought had done it isn't on that list? The last two, Jack Scott's winter round in December and Andy Ford's last summer are the quickest since Joss did it but still a long way short of his 19h 14m.
Rosehip Apr 2022 9:19am, 8 Apr 2022 24,777 posts	0 Rosehip The records of complettions are here, Synge achille-ratti-climbing-club.co.uk I would think the book had something to do with today’s start. It’s a good-looking route for a week’s walking
flyingfinn Apr 2022 9:24am, 8 Apr 2022 3,210 posts	0 flyingfinn Just checked and the person I thought had a completion that isn't on that list did complete last April but it was totally self-supported and therefore doesn't meet Achille Ratti's rule that all legs are supported and witnessed (as with the BG Club).

Derby Tup Apr 2022 9:28am, 8 Apr 2022 55,040 posts	0 Derby Tup I was in the Achilles Ratti hut in Langdale the evening Dave Makin and Andy Pooler completed their outing. One of the other lads had a great run at the 10 Peaks that day too. It was a good night
