Three rounds. 113 summits. Nearly 300km and over 25,000m of ascent across the Lake District, Snowdonia, and the Scottish Highlands of Lochaber. The Bob Graham, Paddy Buckley, and Charlie Ramsay Rounds are Britain's three most challenging long-distance mountain rounds, and together they represent the ultimate test of fell running and mountain endurance in the British Isles. Part practical guide, part celebration of mountain culture, this large-format Cicerone book by award-winning author and photographer David Lintern is designed to inform and inspire anyone drawn to the Big Rounds, whether as a runner against the clock, a walker on a multi-day backpacking circuit, or simply someone captivated by these extraordinary routes and the people who love them. Each round is described in full for both runners and walkers, with route guides, practical planning information, history, and first-hand stories from the legends of the sport. Tackle all three Big Rounds with full leg-by-leg route guides for the Bob Graham Round in the Lake District, the Paddy Buckley Round in Snowdonia, and the Charlie Ramsay Round in Lochaber, with each round described as both a 24-hour running challenge and a week-long backpacking circuit.Be inspired by first-hand stories and insights from the people who have defined the Rounds, including Jasmin Paris, Nicky Spinks, Charlie Ramsay, Paddy Buckley, Jim Mann, and Mike Hartley, alongside stunning photography from three of Britain's most dramatic mountain landscapes.Plan your attempt with detailed practicalities for each round, covering getting there, water sources, suggested backpacker's itineraries, places to stay and resupply, support runner logistics, and the rules for timed attempts.Explore alternative ways to complete each round, with information on day trips, shorter sections, and additional challenges, including round extensions and other long-distance mountain challenges beyond the Big 3.Discover the history of each round, from the origins of the Bob Graham in 1932 to the evolution of the Paddy Buckley and Charlie Ramsay Rounds, and learn about the extraordinary community of runners and walkers who have shaped their culture and records.Prepare thoroughly with comprehensive advice on mountaincraft and personal safety, equipment, environmental impact, access and right to roam across England, Wales, and Scotland, and guidance on winter attempts from current record holder Jim Mann. A book to inspire, challenge, and move anyone who has ever looked up at a mountain and felt the pull of the summit, The Big Rounds is an essential addition to the shelf of every fell runner, mountain walker, and lover of wild British landscapes.
