The organisers of the Bowland Badass are absolutely delighted to announce the return of The Great Plattini!

The Great Plattini, in a blaze of lights and glory, graciously claims his Badass Rouge prize at last year’s Badass

Having scooped the Badass Rouge prize for the slowest finisher on the 2012 Bowland Badass with a time of 15 hours and 43 minutes, Ted Platt, AKA The Great Plattini, has once again decided to grasp the Badass nettle for 2013 and has thrown his entry form into the ring. The Great Plattini has provided an inspirational figure for potential Badasses unsure of whether they can get round the Badass route or not. The answer is of course: Yes you can, yes you can (but go steady and bring lights)!
