Yesterday I was just finishing off the Coledale Horseshoe and just below the top of Barrow I passed* a couple of walkers, we exchanged pleasantries then one asked if I was fellrunner. I gasped out what I hoped was a modest reply and he said "Well, I take my hat off to you"
Now I haven't been fellrunning for long so for all I know this sort of thing may happen all the time, so I'd like to ask the question, and perhaps expand it a little "Has someone who isn't a fellrunner ever given you any sort of a compliment when you've met whilst out running?"
*I should add that there was plenty of time for the exchange to take place because I was passing them only very, very slowly.
