Bob Graham was a fell runner who broke the record for climbing the greatest number of mountains in the Lake District within 24 hours. In 1932, he set a new record of 42 peaks: one peak for every year he’d been alive. His route took in the most iconic mountains in the Lake District, including Skiddaw, Great Calva, Scafell Pike and 38 other amazing Lake District fells.
That impressive route is no less inspiring and scenic undertaken at walking pace. Enjoyed over five or six days, our Bob Graham Round walking holiday offers a hearty challenge for experienced walkers. Though this route is not for the faint-hearted, the views from atop the many peaks serve as ample reward along the way.
Following in the footsteps of Bob Graham and marvelling at the dramatic Lake District scenery.
Tackling 42 fells, 74 miles and 29,100 feet of ascent; setting your own goals and taking pride in your journey.
The sense of achievement having successfully conquered this challenging Lake District walk.

“The luggage transfers were flawless and the accommodation was superb. The maps provided with the highlighted routes were great. I love that you had gone to the trouble of highlighting alternative routes for bad weather and the river crossing. This was well thought out. Booking the holiday was easy and Vikki was great at keeping me informed about the booking and going to extra trouble to accommodate us during this particularly busy/difficult time.”Mrs Salt, UK

Made so much better by the high standard of accommodation that Contours had booked for us as well as all the other arrangements like taxis and luggage transfers. My favourite part of the route was Day 4 (Wasdale to Rosthwaite) - stunning, dramatic scenery with Bob Graham Round runners passing by - an exhilarating day!”Mr Ramsdale, UK
