JOHN EDWARDS – A short remembrance
It was with great sadness that I heard of John’s death in March. He was a distinguished “character” in the Dark Peak Fell Runners as evident by the soubriquets he was given, Gentleman John, Squire Read more
Very fine weather for this British Championships running of the Peris Pedol. Some fine runs throughout the field (though not from me), and the women seem to have taken the MV50s to the cleaners on this occasion. I'm blaming my meltdown in the last third on Dicky W, who psyched me out on the start line with his, 'are you sure you don't have a twin two stone lighter than you?' routine. Carshare can no doubt fill us in on what this all means for the overall Champs results in due course; so far as the Carshare league team prize is concerned, this must, I think, go to Keith, Catherine, Nicky and Oli J (unless someone else can demonstrate otherwise). Surely one of the toughest (and finest) of the races on the Calendar?
