Memorable Moments:

I love being out in the Lake district running over the fells. Whatever the weather it is always memorable. I like it so much we have now moved here. First first victory in the KIMM/OMM still rates as a memorable win. As does completing the fastest solo Charlie Ramsay round, being out by yourself for 21 hours the intensities of the highs and lows are more extreme and memorable.
