Benutzer:Meinichselbst/Paddy Buckley Round
Die Paddy Buckley Round, auch als Welsh Classical Round (klassische waliser Runde) bekannt,[1] ist eine Langdistanz-Berglauf-Herausforderung in Snowdonia, Wales. Der Rundkurs ist etwas über 100 km lang und führt über 47 Gipfel. Er gilt als etwas schwerer als das englische Pendant im Lake District, der Bob Graham Round. Das schottische Pendant ist die Ramsay Round.
Obwohl es kein offizielles Zeitlimit gibt, gilt es als Ziel, die Strecke in unter 24 Stunden zu absolvieren, wenngleich der erste Absolvent länger brauchte.
Die Läufer dürfen an jedem Punkt der Route starten und die Strecke wahlweise im oder gegen den Uhrzeigersinn laufen, müssen jedoch ihr Rennen wieder am Startpunkt beginnen. The route takes in the well-known high mountain ranges of Snowdon, the Glyderau and the Carneddau, as well as the slightly less visited ranges of Moel Siabod, the Moelwynion, Moel Hebog and the Nantlle Ridge. The route was devised by the eponymous Paddy Buckley and first completed in 1982 by Wendy Dodds.[1] The selection of summits that must be visited is somewhat arbitrary and no rules appear to have been applied in selecting them Vorlage:According to whom. Generally, it takes in the major peaks of the ranges that are being crossed, then any minor tops that are passed along the way are also included. Some of these tops really are just bumps on the ridge and not really summits in their own right at all.
The fastest known completion of the round was, for many years, by Mark Hartell in 18 hours 10 minutes. On 4 May 2008, this time was matched by Chris Near of Eryri Harriers.[2] This old record was broken in July 2009 by Tim Higginbottom, who completed the Round in a time of 17 hours and 42 minutes.[3] This was further reduced in 2019 by Damian Hall with 17 hours 31 minutes,[4] and again on 30 August 2020 by Matthew Roberts, with a time of 16 hours 38 minutes.[5] Kim Collison set a new best time of 16 hours 20 minutes in April 2021.[6] A year later, in April 2022, a new record was set by Finlay Wild, who completed the round solo and unsupported in a time of 15 hours 14 minutes.[7]
The women's record is held by Lizzie Richardson, with a time of 17 hours and 22 minutes, set in 2023.[8]
A double Paddy Buckley Round was first completed by Nicky Spinks in May 2019 in a time of 57 hours 57 minutes, completing her trilogy of double rounds of the UK's big 3 rounds.[9] The double record now stands at 52 hours 52 minutes set by Ajay Hanspal in June 2024, being the second person to successfully complete the double.[10] Both double rounds were supported but differed in both direction and start point: Nicky Spinks opted to start in Capel Curig going anti-clockwise, then clockwise; whereas Ajay Hanspal opted to start in Llanberis, going clockwise, then anti-clockwise. The double Paddy Buckley Round is considered to be 2-4 hours slower than the double Bob Graham Round.
The book "The Welsh Three Thousand Foot Challenges: A Guide for Walkers and Hill Runners" [11] describes a version of the route which avoids the slate quarries, which the fastest line utilises, and also suggests attempting it as a four-day backpacking (lightweight camping) excursion rather than a one-day run.
