On July 13th 2021 Nathan and his friend Will ran across all 42 of the Lake District’s highest fells raising a phenomenal £3095 for the Dear Toby Trust.
The Bob Graham Round – often called the “granddaddy of ultra distance mountain routes” and arguably the first of its kind anywhere in the world – begins at Keswick and takes in Skiddaw (931m), Blencathra (868m), Nethermost Pike (891m), Scafell (964m and England’s highest mountain), and Great Gable (899m).
Bob Graham set a target of 24 hours to complete the entire route, which involves over 60 miles (100 km) with almost 30,000 feet (8,200m) of ascent. Nathan and Will completed their challenge in 48 hours this time…they hope to complete the 24 hour challenge in the future!
The runners were inspired by Toby’s fearless spirit to test their own fitness and resolve, and to add to his enduring legacy by raising more funds to help other seriously ill children.
