Meglet Feb 2024 8:04pm, 26 Feb 2024 24,422 posts	Quote Pin Meglet So sad. RIP Swittle. He was the first Fetchie I met IRL But what a testament to the power of an online community and Fetch in particular. That his online friends noticed he was missing and the webmaster was able to alert police. Fetch is amazing. (The site I meant, but Ian too)

Oscar the Grouch Feb 2024 8:09pm, 26 Feb 2024 7,350 posts	Quote Pin Oscar the Grouch Sad, sad news. Like so many, I never met him, but lived vicariously on Crosby beach through his blogs. I will be thinking of him next time I am running at the coast.
FRU (KeepTheFaith) Feb 2024 8:14pm, 26 Feb 2024 12,974 posts	Quote Pin FRU (KeepTheFaith) I don’t really know what to say having just heard the news from Northern Swittle was a big part of Yorky with us. Part of the original gang and an amazing supporter for me and those who still run the event…. He was also a huge influence and a great motivator for the streaky bacon group keeping me aloft many a time I knew him well virtually as many of us did. I would like to call him someone who made things better. He was a massive support a number of times and I loved his blogs about his nighttime runs and the beach at Crosby I hope he didn’t suffer and I wish him gods speed This Yorky will involve a couple of miles in his memory that’s for sure What a gent Rest well fella And thank you

About This Thread

Maintained by LipGloss

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

Funeral 5th April 1.30pm at the Thornton Garden of Rest, Lydiate Ln, Thornton, Liverpool L23 1TP
