Fell runner James Gibson has become the first person to complete three classic sub-24 hour winter mountain rounds, solo and unsupported, including the Bob Graham Round in England, the Paddy Buckley Round in Wales and, most recently, the Ramsay Round in Scotland.
James, 31, was introduced to fell running in 2017 thanks to a good friend Joe Mann. The outdoor instructor from Cumbria said: “I work on the hills of the UK, taking people walking, climbing and mountaineering, so I quickly worked out that I had a good endurance base for fell running.
