It is with great sadness that I learnt of Bill's death. He met his end on the Bowland hills some time ago but I only found out about it today from his sister. I will post updates here. He was a good man, great writer and a good friend. May he rest in peace.

Sad news - he leaves a great legacy, though.

Without me you'd be one place nearer the back
Very sad news indeed.
I exchanged a few words with Bill last at the end of Fred's Run when he was one of the assembled and happy throng seeing "Fred" home from Portinscale to Keswick.
I was lucky enough to have regular if infrequent correspondence with Bill. He was indeed a gent of the old school.
He will be sadly missed by many.

The only one who can tell you "You can't" is you. And you don't have to listen.
A gent RIP Bill
Met him a couple of times, lovely bloke, sad news. May his spirit forever roam the fells in peace.
Hills and Guinness!
Sorry to hear this. He was always ready for a chat. Lovely guy.
That is very sad news. At many fell races I would bump into him on top of a hill somewhereHe always had words of encouragement for everyone. It won't be the same without his smiling face around the races
No country for old men.
Indeed not, we lurkers will miss him too. A really nice bloke. So sorry to hear this news.Originally Posted by Alf
