Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

Yeah, a Stolly BGR attempt was a good way of testing your kit . My first encounter with Stolly was supporting him on leg 3. I remember struggling into waterproofs on Esk Pike and him abandoning shortly after, we went down to Wasdale via Styhead and had a pint while we waited for the lovely Hester. Stolly fell asleep, face on the table in a puddle of beer.

Come to think of it, I was on his successful attempt too - leg 1. He went off way too hard, it was a right drama. Once he'd left onto leg 2 we had to go back up Blencathra rounding up lost supporters.

All this weather chat is captured perfectly in the Flanders & Swann classic...

You only need that image once. Stolly just had a few more dress rehearsals than most folk 😉

I didn’t bother climbing the steps, I just ran head first into the door.

A few months earlier NE witnessed me and Jim Mann throw Joe Charles headfirst at the door to make sure he made it.
