Local rumour (i.e. the "Well Done" sign on his gate) has it that Simon successfully completed the Bob Graham round on Saturday 22nd May.
Simon writes: "It's true – I did managed to get round but only just (23:19). The heat in wasdale absolutely destroyed me! I was only 20 mins down on my 20hr schedule at wasdale but then it all started to go wrong as every time I ate or drank it just came back up… I effectively did the last 2 legs on no food and a litre of water! Without my band of helpers I would never have made it – a massive thanks to them all but especially my brother Rich who had to force feed me small bits of jelly sweets after I fell asleep on the last climb up Robinson! I don't think he could face calling the mountain rescue out…. I'll write a fuller report soon."
