I did it twice (he bragged) a few years ago, on two separate occasions. The first time I ran into an aged walking vicar at Eller Beck and we had a chat. He told me that on his birthday every year, he went out and did a walk with the same number of miles as his age, and he would be 80 that year, so was going to do two Lyke Wake walks back to back, and then probably retire! I would love to know if he ever managed it, though he looked fit enough. If any of you knew him, it was around 1978.

Cheers
