Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

R.I.P. Swittle

Never met him in person but always came across as a lovely man.

If you read about his nightly beach runs you could almost have been running along beside him.

He always encouraged others especially on the How was your run thread.

Hope all your beach run are still as perfect as they were while you were here xx

Oh no! That’s awful news. Swittle was a lovely Fetchie and will be sadly missed.

And his genuine appreciation for everyone's photos - he would often leave a comment of praise for some aspect of an image.

I can't believe this.

That's such sad news. I was looking forward to meeting him one day when I return to Crosby for a parkrun.

Fuck, he's like one of those posters, seems to have always been about popping up occasionally. Referred to affectionately as 'Switts' on one thread I recall. Part of the furniture. Lordy, condolences to his IRL friends and family.

He was what Fetcheveryone is all about: enjoying his own running, being supportive of others, and appreciating that there is more to life than running. I will miss his posts.

I know some people that worked with him in the real world, just made a phone call to let them know the sad news.

RIP.

That was my main contact with him too Synge. He always commented on any photos I posted and I loved reading his blogs. Such sad news.
