It is always unpleasant and just a little bit unfathomable when the nice ones go. The good memories will remain; beating him on a missed turn at the riber run fell race, watching him give away his hard won t-shirt at Stanage Struggle - a large was never going to fit his fell racing frame, seeing him hang about to pick up the odd little prises some of the local evening fell races give out as he hoovered up finishes in any events he hadn't yet taken part in - Parwich and Masson hill, a hot day on Leg 4 on the BG as he not only collected water for Phil and Julian but still kept a watchful eye on my slow progress.
Am thinking something cycling related might be the best thing to wear to remember him by - something woollen probably with the rainbow colours or maybe just hat with a small peak.
