Thread: China Crisis

  1. #1

    China Crisis

    It might be wishful thinking (boom boom) but I have just remembered to check on You Tube the video for Wishful Thinking by China Crisis which I vaguely recalled, from 1985, had a video of somebody fell running. I was right but two questions;

    1. Does anybody know if that is a club vest he is wearing and which one? It looks like a Ronhill vest in any case

    2. Where is it filmed - I would guess somewhere near Marsden maybe?

    Have a look - any thoughts?

    In the early 'barn' sequences, they certainly do not appear to be fell shoes that the lad is lacing on to his feet. Maybe the fell running connection was just a bit of wishful thinking by the producer / director / promoter?
    I was a bit of an oddball until I was abducted by aliens; but I'm perfectly OK now!

    I'm sure it's the early Ron Hill logo?

    My next quiz question will be famous fell-running places mentioned in pop songs or appearing in music video's in the 1980s.

    Lets start with Cloudbusting by Kate Bush?
