Finishers 2007 Jon Heathfield/Paul Houghton/Robert Houghton

Elite Failures Leader Steve Hand (twice .. 2006 & 2007) had support from Mark Frisby (once 2006 & chickened out 2007) Andy Walton (2006 only & retired from competition) and Steve Wilshaw (2007 first timer). Jon Heathfield with BBB success in 2006 but with a failure on the Dovedale Dipper in August 2006 has left the CLUB and rejoined the ranks of "winners" with a storming under 10 hrs effort in the BBB 2007. His only failure this year was seeing Steve Hand on to a bus in Eyam.
