Congratulations to Rachel Rose, James Thompson, Jason Brannan, Aritri Mandal and Felix Watts pictured above who, with the considerable help of Richard Hakes and the Dark Peak BG machine, joined the Bob Graham Club this weekend. Richard writes “Felix and Rachael both in about 21 hrs-ish but not together. Aritri, James and Jason were in 23:30, again spread, all finished in good time with no drama. The weather hot but it was cooler high up and even some rain.” Great stuff!
