The idea for this route was born out of R2R2R in the Grand Canyon. Palo Duro Canyon is the 2nd largest canyon in the United States needed a good FKT and this is fitting as it not only goes R2R2R but throws in the famous Lighthouse rock formation as well, giving the runner a tour of the canyon like no other.
For our 200th (!) episode, we’re jumping across the pond to catch up with Finlay Wild, Scottish resident and recent Paddy Buckley record-setter. A doctor with a passion for painting, Finlay shares his vast insight and skill on all things fell running, UK rounds, and the UK at large.
With nine FKTs to his name, Finlay’s most iconic feats include the Cuillin Ridge Traverse on the Isle of Sky, the Tranter variant of the Ramsay Round, and his most recent feat: setting the unsupported record on the Paddy Buckley, Wale’s premiere round.
The route attached here is simply an example, not the actual route. This follows the well known concept for islands : start at any beach, and finish at the highest point on the island. You can take any available road or trail to get there on foot.
I recently completed this route in February of 2023, and as far as I know this is the first completion. Please correct me if someone else has already done this, and please try it out for yourself. It was a very fun adventure.
