My story

WE'VE FINISHED - BUT ARE STILL TAKING DONATIONS!

RUNNING UPDATES (Sat 16th May)

10.45pm: THEY'RE BACK! 6 of the team completed 68 miles and 42 peaks between them in 23hrs 43mins and are on their way to a well deserved sleep. Due to awful weather conditions and injured team members they incurred a 2 hour delay on the first leg, and so decided to split to enable them to cover the distance. One team covered about 64 miles in total. WELL DONE GUYS! and thanks to the support team who kept them going. We are very proud of you.

9.20pm: The team are on the last leg - 4.5 miles on the road back to Keswick. There have been some problems, but they are all ok.

8.30am: Hell Vellyn. 2 of the team are injured, but the rest are attempting to catch up lost time. Weather has improved.

5am: Very poor visibility overnight means the men are currently 2 hours behind. They will have to do some serious catching up today - fingers crossed the weather improves.

11pm Fri: Team start off from Keswick.

Thanks for visiting our Afghan Appeal Fund (AAF) fundraising page!

But why should you help us raise £50,000 for the AAF? Read on...

Our 10-man team will be undertaking "The Bob Graham Round", a unique challenge which originated in 1932 in the Lake District. It involves climbing over 27,000 feet traversing 42 fells, spread over 72 miles - all in under 24 hours. It is one of the most demanding tests of physical fitness that can be attempted by athletes or mountaineers.

More details can be found at http://www.bobgrahamround.co.uk

The ECI BGR 139 Challenge: 72 miles: 42 peaks: 24 hours: 1 team. That's why!
