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!

Devastated to hear you’ve gone Swittle, never failed to comment on a photo, pass on some encouragement and I always pictured you with a smile. We never met but I felt like I knew you.

Hann, mundane thread and Fetch thank you for reaching out to authorities to check on him when you noticed he was quiet. This community is the best. I’m just devastated it was such tragic news.

Run wild and free Switts.

Fuck, that's a shock! I never met him but like many of you am so sad. Such a caring man who loved education :( I'll miss his blogs and mundane thread posts about his headtorch beach runs. He was one of those people who would always drop an fmail too. A real loss :(

Oh my goodness, what a shock.

A lovely chap, often conversed on threads and blogs.

He will certainly be missed.

Holy crap...I never had the chance to meet him but he frequently commented on my blogs in the past. He also provided tons of encouragement on the Streaky Bacon thread to us nutty streakers. ;) RIP swittle, we'll miss you.

Our paths often crossed - in life and in running - but never met him in person. Despite that, I felt he was a friend and would always have a word of encouragement. Will be missed

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
