Coronavirus

[Fellbeast]

To be fair I think our city centres have always had a massive drink and nutcase problem and, with something like covid coming along, it was inevitable that they would become boiling pots of potential infection. Student cities especially so I guess.

Leeds city centre is carnage on a night out and similarly when I’ve been out for the night (mainly linked to work) occasionally over the years in Edinburgh, London, Birmingham, Manchester and Belfast, they’ve all been frankly dangerous places to be.

A couple of years ago I video’d a small clip of three of us headtorch running at night in thick snow on top of Ingleborough and, through the powers of social media, it somehow found its way onto BBC Yorkshire’s Facebook page and was then shown briefly on early evening tv. Well jesus the flack I got from armchair warriors on that for being so ‘reckless’ ‘thoughtless’ and ‘stupid’!! My answer to that was that we knew the mountain like the back of our hands and, in any event, it wasn’t nearly so dangerous as a Friday night out in Leeds city centre
