The Bob Graham Round is a 66 mile, 27,000 ft circuit of 42 peaks in the English Lake District which must be completed within 24 hours. Achille Ratti members have a long and strong tradition of completing the Bob Graham Round. This was initiated by Leo Pollard in 1976 who has been followed by a steady stream of finishers ever since.
Below is a list of members of the Bob Graham Club who completed the round whilst they were members of the Achille Ratti. Many of these attempts will have been fully supported by the Club and its members.
Could any Club member who has been accidentally left off this list please let us know. If you are named below and you have a copy of your BG report please send it to us so that it can be added to this archive to make it a complete and permanent record of the Clubs BG achievements.
Any current member who is interested in Club support to complete the challenge please contact Dave Makin.
