We went out with the Blencathra one day many years ago. Blew to ground and two lads set off running down the fell. Short time later they reappeared carrying bars, shovels etc.
We went in the local pub before we drove the 100 miles home and there was a photo of these lads (2 brothers) on the wall, they were local Fell Runners and that's how they trained lol
And the Huntsman at the time? Johnny Richardson, escaped from the Japs in WW2 and walked 200 miles to freedom, twice, second time without boots so they legend says. That fella could yomp the fells, even in his 70s ??
Cheers,
