Kiss of life?

[Charmian]

The scenario you relate does not refer to a lack of inclusion relative to the sport of fell running but rather a cultural problem over which we have no control. That young woman would be better advised to join a local club to get real support and not to join the Forum but remain as a non-posting viewer.

Did anyone watch Rehna on the Kendal Mountain Festival last year? She is a young Pakistani woman from Ashton who went on a group walk at Dovestones and had a tantrum, taking off her boots and throwing them at the leader. Roll on and she is now a qualified mountain leader at the Lindley Educational Trust: https://www.lindleyeducationaltrust.org/about/

She was an absolute inspiration and very entertaining. She would be the kind of role model I would advocate.
