(fast car allowed!) He should be able to lap 1 and 3 ... 2 might be more of a conditions luck based challenge.
The big question is was he the first to do Urgent Action, Supercool and The Groove in a day? Or did Andy Mitchell do it? Come on Andy fess up did you or did you not do the Challenge in a day and did you run / cycle between the crags?
I'm still waiting for someone to do 8A, E8 and 8a in a day in Yorkshire. Mr Turner, if you see this Zoo York, New Statesman and Raindogs?
For a Peak challenge could do 8 classic F8as at 8 different crags, on the same calendar day, ideally on the 8th of August, cycling/running between:Ruby Fruit Jungle - LTQFree Monster - WCJ CorniceSissy - RubiconThe Prow - Raven TorPowerplant - Cheedale CorniceOgre - Chee TorThe Spider - Plumb ButtressThormen's Moth, Thors CaveFull set of classics in different styles, bona fide classics. It would be hard enough doing this with car transport. 8 pints for the first person to do this.

Obviously has an 8a route, I think it has an 8A Boulder (though it seems pretty hard to find out about any of the bouldering, obviously not in the loop) and according to the logbook on the other channel it has one E8.
Dumbarton ticks all three.
Report from BMC: https://www.thebmc.co.uk/steve-mcclure-attempts-the-yorkshire-triple-crownDid Geoffrey Boycott write this? Claims they are the three best sport routes in the country! Are they even the best 8a+s? Non-Yorkshiremen might suggest this is in Dorset.
I did ask Andy Mitchell if he'd done it and he said no.
