    Article mentions Lee has ran on the fells. Quick search on Power of Ten results in this athlete from Derbyshire. http://www.thepowerof10.info/athlete...thleteid=30066 Matches his running of the VLM in 2011.
    RIP Lee.

    We all the love the hills to be in them but they can be so very cruel and utterly unforgiving.

    Though the young man was not someone whom I know personally. I could easily be described as a 'Matlock based runner/climber', I also happened to be in the area of Crinkle Crags just a few miles from the Scafell Pike on Friday, I also had seen that the local MR and RAF MR teams had been quite active on Saturday and remember looking at their vehicles and hoping for the best but fearing the worst.

    My very sincere and profound condolences to his family and friends.

    On behalf of Matlock Athletic Club I would like to pay tribute to our former member Lee Jones.
    As an early- to mid-teenager he was with our club and was a very talented young athlete. He represented England in various junior internationals and was someone the club was very proud to have as a member.
    Eventually, Lee's interests moved away from running and he became an enthusiastic weight trainer but he still pulled on his running shoes regularly and even ran the London Marathon last year. I would have expected him to be the type who would have returned to running at a later stage of his life.
    He was popular amongst his mates with a lively and cheerful disposition, always keen to work hard and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
    Our condolences extend to his family and friends.
