I would like to say thank you to NFR members for all the tributes on the website and to all those who took part in the Beacon Hill run on Thursday evening.

I think Ruth would have been taken aback but also seriously chuffed at all the kind words that were said about her. Fell running was a major part of her life. Although she took part in a wide variety of sports, she always said that there was nothing to compare with the freedom of running over the fells and to the friendships she made out on the hills.

Thanks, Bill Burlton
