19/05/13 Bob Graham Round: "John Telfer put in an heroic attempt at the BGR on Saturday. Starting at 7am going anti clockwise John got round in a little over 25 hours in extremely testing conditions. The clag was down low for virtually the whole time with persistent heavy rain on Legs 1 and 2 and the odd shower on Legs 3, 4, and 5. All the navigators did a fantastic job finding the route and John's family proved to be tremendous road crew. I think I can speak for everyone involved that it was a pleasure being in the company of someone who is a credit to NFR.
