The Bob Graham Round: Running the Fells with Friends

Спорт

Tony Holt attempts the iconic Bob Graham Round: a 66 mile ultra distance mountain challenge taking in 42 of England's Lake District fells with 27,000ft of ascent, which must be completed within 24 hours. More than just a physical and mental challenge for the ultra-fit, Tony narrates his story and explains that it's running in the hills with friends that makes it so special.

    Just watched this again. As someone who’s finding his feet again after a long layoff due to two hip replacements and blood cancer treatment. We’ve moved out of London to Somerset. Surrounded by hills, and a beach close by. These videos are my inspiration again. Nice going champ…

    This is a fabulous piece of film with a very interesting story too. My wife and I LOVE KESWICK so initially that's why I watched it. Fascinating,HUGE respect for this guy and his supporters. Hope they went to "Wainwright" pub afterwards to celebrate (best pub in town,in my opinion).

    good to know that when your dog has its tail btween it's legs, that's a sign that it had enough running and you really should stop. you can see the difference between a fresh and happy dog, vs tired one at 23:41.
