Some lovely and quite inspiring posts on here! 2017 was going to be another come back year for me, but alas not to be. I started running on the fells in 1980, best years should have been '85 and '86, but did the BG instead of racing - the BG turned out to be the best attended Keswick AC club run of the year - what a fantastic day out it was. Some truly epic 'assists' on other BG's, more or less decided to stop racing in 1999, until a phone call from a certain Helene....''....would you like to be in a disabled team on the Hebridean Challenge? I'd love to but it would take me a year to get fit. That's good, it's in twelve months time'' and hung up before I could protest. Adventure racing at its best, wish I'd found it a few years earlier! Now looking forward to helping on the LAMM out on the Western Isles, an adventure not to be missed!
