    An interview with Andy Berry

    Ultrarunner Andy Berry shares his Steve Parr Round experience as he set a new Fastest Known Time of 33 Hours 45 Minutes 59 Seconds.  The challenge takes in all of the 2500 feet + summits in the Lake District National Park. In 2020 following growing interest in the challenge, the Fell Running Association (FRA) adopted Steve Parr’s route of 61 peaks. It includes the 57 peaks documented by Wainwright as being higher than 2,500 feet plus Broad Crag, Ill Crag, Shelter Crags and Helvellyn Lower Man. This became the benchmark for formally registering completions and record breaking runs of the 2,500ft peaks.  The round was named in honour of Steve as he completed the first round in 1984, starting and finishing at the Keswick Moot Hall. He covered some 116 miles and 42550′ of ascent in a time of 42 hours 56 minutes, a record that stood for 36 years.

    An Interview With Jill Wheatley

    In 2014, Jill Wheatley was living and working in Germany as a high school health and physical education teacher. On a day that began like any other, while Jill was teaching her students how to connect bat to ball, a fluke accident would result in a traumatic brain injury and a 70% loss of vision, she was given just three days to live. Surrounded by the Colorado Rockies, Jill drew inspiration from the mountains that called out to her as she lay in her hospital bed trying to recover. Overcoming mental anguish and a loss of hope, Jill moved her mindset to one of growth. After finally being allowed to leave the hospital, she headed straight for the mountains and into a challenge as she navigated the trails, in an unfamiliar body, towards her independence.
