I totally disagree. Charles, in my opinion, is going against the traditions and ethics of the club by charging for his services and exploiting the growing popularity of the round. As harsh as it sounds, we all have a living to make....there are other jobs he could do to earn the £2, 000 odd he estimates he will get from this venture. As a member of the group he should be upholding and respecting this tradition. Read any book/article on the subject and this sense of tradition and camaraderie weaves through all accounts. The recent strava interview with Ricky lightfoot reflects this tradition too. I wonder what fred rogerson would say? The 'client' can't be to blame-they're a merely replying to an advert. Charles should know better-particularly given his strong lakeland connections and upbringing which he is so passionate to point out. The BG is not the same as a commercial ultra run.Originally Posted by johnsty
