Too warm for running. Glad I'm just chilling in the sun on Caldbeck Common with the thought it will be much more pleasant at 4.30 tomorrow morning!

Since lockdown was was eased it’s been fascinating viewing following the BG and Wainwright attempts. Given recent successes in the BG, I’m going to ask the question that probably shouldn’t be asked: why hasn’t it become an official race?

Derby Tup Aug 2020 7:55pm, 8 Aug 2020 44,893 posts	Quote Pin Derby Tup Why would it become a ‘race’? It’s the Bob Graham. It’s like asking why hasn’t the horse become an apple?
Northern Exile Aug 2020 7:58pm, 8 Aug 2020 6,683 posts	Quote Pin Northern Exile God help us, the National Trust would go apoplectic at the merest thought of a race around the the BG route. The attrition rate would be interesting .... over 50% perhaps? It's about 40% in the UTMB and the time cut-offs are more generous than the BGR. I'm disturbed at the very thought of a race around the Bob Graham route, it's akin to swearing in front of your mum or spitting in church.
