Fell running farmers

[noel]

Are you usefully and fully employed during the working day Noel?

I used to be a student when I played that game. Unfortunately, I have a lot less time for such games these days. The odd crossword in the evenings is about my limit.

Didn't a fell running farmer run the Auld Lang Syne fell race in wellies a couple of three years ago? And annoyingly do really well 'to boot'

[Steve Chilton]

Ken Ledward was at one time an opera singer!

[molehill]

Tim Davies and dad Eddie - not sure who's farming or fell running at the moment, but both farmed and ran (quite well).

Same requirements for fell running as opera singing: good pair of lungs, ability to keep going for hours.

[Rev Richard]

Similarly, what fell runners are there where there is only one of a profession who does it? And obscure professions like Production Quality Assurance Analyst don't count.

I've heard there's another Vicar out there, though I've never met him. I'd like to meet him if we should ever turn up at the same race. That would be a Saturday race, probably.

Why are the long races in South Wales all on Saturdays? Because they were devised by Philip Dixon, who was Minister of Moriah chapel, Blaenavon, for some years in the late 1970s and 1980s. He is also a member of the Bob Graham Club, but he hasn't been on the fell running scene for a long time. He doesn't appear to be a minister any more, either, having returned to his hometown of Kendal to supply the fell-runner's greatest need: food. He co-stars with his wife in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MVeKuKVkT0

I think I know the same lad and he had previously done The Stoop in said same wellies and also done well.

...Ted Mason is a dry stone waller so sort of!...

Ted Mason is a farmer who just happens to do his own walling, and competes at some of the local agricultural shows' drystone walling competitions.

It was Ted Mason that raced in boiler suit and wellies.

John Darby ("Puffing Billy")

His brother Andy was a better runner and is still a farmer.
