Description
Three major rounds across British mountains.
The Bob Graham Round, Paddy Buckley Round, and Charlie Ramsay Round encompass some of the UK’s most demanding mountain experiences. These routes traverse the Lake District, Snowdonia, and Lochaber, covering a total of 113 peaks. David Lintern combines practical route information with photographs, historical context, and voices from the community that developed these unique challenges.
For runners and hikers with packs.
Each round is presented both as a 24-hour running attempt and as a multi-day hike. The book also offers options for shorter sections and day trips. This allows for its use in planning a long-term goal, a continuous mountain week, or a smaller hiking project within one of the three regions.
Planning and the people behind the rounds.
Information on access, water sources, accommodation, resupply points, and support along the way helps in understanding the logistics. The book also covers the history of the rounds and the organization of timed attempts. Stories from individuals such as Jasmin Paris, Nicky Spinks, Charlie Ramsay, and Paddy Buckley provide insight into both the achievements and the community surrounding them.
Who is this book for?
This book is for experienced mountain hikers and runners with good endurance and reliable navigation skills. The rounds present significant challenges even when spread over several days. Advice on equipment, mountain skills, and environmental considerations supports planning. Choose a scope that matches your abilities, the season, and mountain conditions.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged from climbers and mountaineers who wished to share their thorough knowledge of routes—a tradition that continues to characterize these compact books for hiking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
