Indeed.

The first time I did Edale Skyline, as a mere youth, I was talking to DT before hand about it being my first Skyline and he said "the only thing that matters is that you enjoy yourself".

When I turned up for the Skyline in 2007, the infamous year of the horrific winds and hail (captured on the Hypothermia leaflet), at registration he said that it was going to be grim and that whatever I was thinking of wearing I "should double". So I ran in two Hellys and was snug and as warm as toast.

DT: one of the great men of fell running.
