Nick was such a lovely chap to be around. I first knew him through running with the Holbeton Harriers. When Covid struck and we were no longer able to run in large groups, myself and Nick, and a couple of others in Yealmpton joined forces to keep our running going. He loved running down by the river, but I’m not sure he was too impressed when I took him on a new route which included steps dug into a very steep hill……. he enjoyed the downhill afterwards though!! October 2020 saw me take on the Virtual London Marathon. A route was plotted and Nick, along with another friend Sarah, agreed to accompany me on the final 10 miles. I’m sure he just wanted to make sure I’d do it!!!! He encouraged me all the way to the finish and kept telling me what a good pace I was doing (I’m sure he was lying!!!! It felt like a snails pace after 24 miles!!), but his enthusiasm shone through. That was a great morning and I have very fond memories of it to remember him by.
He will be missed.
