Seems 15 mins 49 seconds is the answer for Finlay Wild:

Chapeau!

I will freely admit to having a bit of a man crush on him.

Deliberately I assumed, so they don't bash about on his bag running down the bottom bit.

Finlay's time in the fell race is still some way off Kenny Stuart's 1984 record - 1:25:34 up and down!

Nope. If you leave stuff behind it does not count.

I'm told that back in the 80's the top part of the red burn was a proper scree run. Now it's bare earth and big blocks which is slower. However, Kenny Stuart was also a proper world class athlete.
