Rest in peace, Iron Joss Naylor, the King of the Fells.

I'll admit I teared up a bit when I found out. I mean it wasn't unexpected; he was 88 and the sheep-farmer-to-legendary-fell-runner progression is hard on the body. Like "how the fuck are you not dead already?" hard on the body. But there's a feeling the world has lost someone unique and great. As far as I'm aware his record for ascending and descending England's highest mountain - Scafell Pike in 47 minutes - has never been beaten.

This is a Guardian reprint from 1972 about his attempt to run 65 Lake District peaks in 24 hours. (The 'standard' Bob Graham Round is 42.)

Early autumn, below Heron Pike. Swirling winds from o’er Langdale way, filled with the call of geese and the promise of winter.

A morning to run, to remember and to anticipate.

I had the same noises when I bought it and one of the springs had gone. My car has it’s MOT at the end of the month but I’m hoping to buy a newer car before that and as good as my car has been to me it’ll time…

Death and time loops

Kinder Scout, out on the north side away from the crowds. Dark clouds on storm winds, hints of autumn on the heather and bilberries. Out above the Snake, a red kite dancing on those winds; sheltered amongst the roots and gravel, lizards storing the last of the summer heat.

A near perfect day of fell running.
