With the UTS (Ultra Tour Snowdonia) cancelled Howard needed something to fill the void. "What about the Steve Parr Round?" asked Paul Willson. Just 5 days later Howard set off to not only complete the round but to break a record that has stood since 1984!  The Steve Parr Round is 61 Lakeland Summits, about 116 miles, about 42,550 feet of ascent! Howard set a new record of 42hours 37minutes and 15 seconds!  We chat about training, change of plans, the round itself and big up the community!  Howard would like to thank everyone that helped and all of his sponsors: Maggie May Dempsey, John Parkin, Jacob Tonkin, Liam Mills, Nathaniel-Jon Ingram, Scott Newburn, Steve Birkinshaw, John Knapp, Ben Turner, Andy Fid, Paul Nelson, Tim Ripper, Max Driscoll, Martin Stone, Chris Richards, Dan Armstrong, Dave Heterington, Heather Driscoll, Paul Wilson, Jess Pealing, Wim Stevenson, Max Dillon.
