Aye, I've been looking after those pages for the past year or so. But the stats for my round (which were copied from my site) predate my involvement and could also do with checking because I've found actual GPS tracks tend to measure longer than the map-and-string method used to produce them.
In reply to Dan Bailey - UKHillwalking.com:
Thought you'd be along sometime, Dan! On which note, worth pointing out that Dan's route and mine follow a slightly different rationale, with mine taking all the Munro Tops to update the classic 'Bobby Shields' round where Dan skips Stob Coire nan Lochan (which I so nearly missed in haste and thick cloud!) and Beinn Fhada but includes the Pap.
> Timings are for walking (I'd never be fit enough to run it) but the route description and map are of course the same whatever pace you have
For a middling club runner, 12 hours still seems a decent yardstick for my round. Sure I can improve on my 10:55 (still haunted by the Bidean debacle and some other 'slow but not wrong' bits) to go sub-10 (maybe sub-9:30) and would expect someone of Iain's calibre to go a good hour quicker yet, but think Dan's route probably covers enough extra ground to take a tad longer.
Also (@Dan), bet you are (because *nobody* runs it all)!
