Rosie took this photo of me as I finished the @BrathayEvents Windermere marathon. That look on my face is relief! 26.2 miles, 1800+ feet of ascent. It’s a stunningly beautiful course…but quite challenging!! justgiving.com/fundraising/ti…
I got to know Ray because he did a late night show and I did an early show, he’d leave work, go home & drink a glass of red then call into my show for a natter because he just loved radio, he was a little more relaxed and great fun on those calls. Good times.
