Spring is in the Air.............. so an amazing fell runner friend Stuart Air has a birthday tomorrow. A few months ago whilst he was dragging me around the Fells, we were discussing what he was going to do for his birthday, and so his idea of 25@25 was born. Over the following weeks Stu collaborated an amazing route in the Lake District taking in 25 Peaks. It is his 25th B'day. All make sense now! Yesterday saw his idea come to fruition, a bunch of unlikely fell runners congregated and joined in various legs of his birthday jaunt. He had road crossing support by Ms Prior, the weather was just amazing, and fun was had by all involved.
