Episode 10 - Solo Unsupported Midwinter Bob Graham Round 1987 with Martin Stone
Listen now
Description
In January 1987 pioneering long distance fell runner Martin Stone completed his goal of a solo, unsupported midwinter Bob Graham Round in classic full winter conditions (in 23h41). This had taken 4 attempts over 6 years and was not repeated in similar style until just recently in December 2020 by Shane Ohly. The journey was such an indelible personal experience that Martin recorded his thoughts on the round in detail the next day. Over 30yrs later he has unearthed the tape and agreed for it to be shared. Shane's account of his recent record should be available shortly at www.shaneohly.com
