Memorable Moments:

No such thing as a bad day out on the hill. I feel lucky to live and work in one of the finest mountain areas in Britain and to have been given the opportunity to race in such beautiful surroundings with Like minded people. Although Adventure Racing is an exciting, media fuelled sport there is nothing quite like the UK fell running scene where prizes are little more than a bottle of wine or a spirit level!
