Benny was a cracker Grouse, awkward B*gger to the end....
For me wilderness & mountains I guess... not running in particular..... but, an exceptional teacher (Frank Mason) at secondary school, who took a reet mixed bunch of kids "Rambling" most weekend's and on annual 10 day Whit' YHA jaunts around the UK mountains... and the older (than me) guys & gals in the Rucksack Club who showed me the way to mountain enlightenment (plus my Mum & Dad)... it was a hard church at times, but the rewards are forever....
