While working towards and completing our BGs in 2008, Daz and I spent such a lot of time together in the car and on the hill. There was never a cross word. He was a great companion and an inspiration.
This morning I rode my bike to Edale and then climbed to the top of Grindslow Knoll where I sat and thought about Daz. I’ll admit to shedding a few tears. Grindslow Knoll was the first hill we climbed together in our BG training (the start of the Kinder Dozen). It was somewhere that I know Daz and Amanda went together. It‘s also the start of the ”down and up” to Ringing Roger on the Edale Skyline, a race Daz completed many times, usually taking the tougher down and up rather than round the edge.
We’ve all lost a very, very good friend, and I feel desperately sorry for Amanda and Josh.
P.S. You can see the Moot Hall here
