Love the way people jump to conclusions over the single mum comment if it allows them to display their moral outrage.
Nothing against single mums, as the present Mrs MTG can verify.
Nothing against anyone who stays in a hostel. A former Mrs MTG had to stay in one with her two kids at one time and spent two days cleaning the place when she first moved in, so I can see why someone might take a tent as an alternative.
Nothing against people who live in tents. Speaks With Her Dead Mum grrl was living on the road in her car when I met her.
It was the “Just another…” bit, not the “Single mum” bit that put me off.
You know when you are looking on dating sites and you get the “I like going out and staying in” ones. The ones who like “Going for walks and curling up on the settee with a good film”.
You know, the ones you just skim over looking for someone with a bit of character.
Well, it was like that, but in real life.
Oh, and the fell runner was OK.
It was a race over all the 3000ft peaks in Wales.
I think it was about 45km, except that he was one of only two runners doing the double, about 90km.
He set off a bit later than planned, so it was almost inevitable that it would be dark by the time he finished.
Given that, plus his ability, experience, equipment and previous marshal sightings, the balance of probabilities was that he would be OK.
A vague claim that he was moving slowly was not enough to convince me of any clairvoyant abilities.
