A good part of the reason I've taken part in so many stemmed from you, Mark and other chaps from Heptonstall being so friendly on the first Heptonstall recce/race. So thanks! Truth be told, before that first recce I'd been quite nervous about 'stepping up' to fells from the roads (even though I'd done the Yorkshireman). Now I've got a degree of confidence I'm really enjoying the different challenges of all the different types of races there are out there. So many hills and mountains - so little time .

    Cheers,

    Cheers Joe - pleased to hear we may have helped to inspire you! Think putting the building of worship on the Hurriers vest has given us that evangelical edge Glad you "saw the light"....see you in Cragg Vale church tonight.
