Congrats. Great effort.

Thanks very much

Congratulations on getting round. We met on the last hill, whilst I was out on a recce. It was inspiring to see you both in such good spirits despite an awful night.

@@baboonruns3041 it was great to meet you. I hope your round went well. Thanks for the cheers at the end 😀

Congratulations Nicky and Ben. Incredible effort to finish. It sounds as if it is quite a bit harder than the BG. I am regularly out on the fells with the first person to do the Paddy - Wendy Dodds and she took about the same time as you two to complete it. Here are a couple of selfies with Wendy and also with Paddy (from 8 years ago when he was still out and about on the fells in his late eighties).

Thanks Simon, that’s very cool. Great photos. We really enjoyed the day. Such a shame Matt couldn’t join us for the whole thing as we were hoping. Good excuse to get back over there and support him soon. Thanks again and hope you are well 😀.

Hey, firstly well done 👍🏼... I've just came across yout channel. Im training for a Bob Graham attempt next May. The Paddy Buckley legs will be my main training ground (im Shropshire based so quite a drive to the Lake's)... Anyway, I saw you on your first recce of the Moelwyn leg, down by the slate mine ruins (think you asked me if i was familiar with the area - my first time on the Moelwyns at thay point) - I mention seeing you both in my Cnicht camp video.
If you're up for it, I'd be up to meet up over in Snowdonia and get a few training runs over in Snowdonia on the Paddy Buckley legs.

Nice to hear from you. We are the opposite really. Mostly train in The Lakes but rarely get across to Wales. It was great to have some time over there over the last year as I used to be there so regularly. Keep us posted on how your training is going 😀

Fantastic run, congratulations. My own attempt was scheduled for May 2024, but will likely be next year now following a nasty chest infection. Can't wait to have a go at it!

[@teammooadventures9608]

Real shame on the timing of your chest infection. Hope you get out again soon and your round goes brilliantly 😀

Brilliant Video Nicky, inspirational.

[@teammooadventures9608]

Thanks dude. Really glad you liked it. Thanks for the content. It was great to have it 😊

Superb vid. I’m heading out 12th July if you fancy joining Nicky. After much chopping and changing I have landed on your plan too. 1100 start capel. It’s a super tough course, I’ll be delighted if I get round in one piece.

[@jackcollo7738]

And well done again! Amazing achievement

@@jackcollo7738 thanks very much, I’m really glad you enjoyed it. Good luck in July, I’m sure you will have a great day. Thanks for the invite, but I’m afraid I’m away in Norfolk that weekend. Please let me know how you get on 😀.

@@jackcollo7738 thanks again. I hope you have an amazing day in the hills, and good luck again 😀.

Sum up kids - just finished 24hr run and first thing you get ask “daddy I need to go to the toilet” 😂
