8th<\/sup> July,\n1989<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anti-clockwise round with a midnight start assisted by members of the\nAchille Ratti Climbing Club along with husband and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midnight arrives, the\nweather is kind. I put myself into the hands of my fellow members who are to\nhelp me obtain this Bob Graham Round. Two slight errors made on first section\nbut Honister reached in comfort. Tea, jam sandwich and 5 mins rest was sufficient\nhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

02.46am and off we go\nto cover the next 9 summits, dawn arriving as we reach Great Gable, with the\npromise of a good day ahead. Wasdale was reached 14 mins behind my schedule. 12\nmins rest here to give me time to have a brew or two, plus breakfast, a change\nof socks and feet pampered to by our daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

07.06am and off again,\nfeel good and comfortable. Scafell and the Langdales next, Broad Stand dealt\nwith magnificently considering I had never been on it before.  Then I decided to get cracking, the summits\ncame and went along with an easy descent down Steel Fell to Dunmail Raise by\n12.27pm, this time I was 37 mins ahead of schedule.  20 mins rest here for dinner, tinned peaches\nand cold rice pudding, delicious, plus a couple of brews and another change of\nsocks, feels nice in clean socks and I feel great and raring to go.  Looks like I\u2019m going to make it if I keep\nthis nice easy pace.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

27 summits done and 14\nto be done, No. 28 Seat Sandal coming up next.  I was glad when we reached Dollywagon as I seemed\nto have been going up and down towards Grisedale Tarn for ever. The Dodds were\neasy going and the weather was perfect. \nThrelkeld was reached 1 hour 38 mins ahead of schedule at 17.02pm,\nhusband and daughter already there to see to our needs.  Lots more tea, tinned peaches and cold rice\npudding for me, being so far ahead of time I had 20 mins rest here, then I was\nmore than ready for tackling the last three summits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last section was\nfor me completely new ground so I had no idea what to expect. Halls Ridge was\ndifferent for me and that brought the summit of Blencathra under my feet at\n18.14pm. From here on I was met by other members of the A.R.C.C. and the last\nsummit coming into sight and yes I still feel good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skiddaw reached at\n20.26pm and it\u2019s a beautiful evening and even more fellow members coming up to\nsee me in, it\u2019s a lovely feeling. Moot Hall now getting closer and I seem to\nhave every member along side of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final burst up the\nmain street of Keswick to the cheers and shouts of hundreds of people. Where\ndid they all come from? It\u2019s like a carnival, its magic. It was truly a magnificent\nfeeling when I touched Moot Hall at 21.36pm and there was Fred Rodgerson and\nhis wife Margaret and when he welcomed me to the Bob Graham Club it was the\nproudest moment of my life to be honoured a Bob Graham Member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My thanks for this\nsuccess, first and foremost goes to Leo Pollard and Freda for 6 years of\nputting up with me. Secondly, husband and family for all the patience and\nunderstanding and last of all, to all my fellow members of the Achille Ratti,\nwho helped me to have a wonderful day out on the hills with a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
