A Lasting Memento

As promised the tale of a tattoo

Tenacious readers may recall that  back in 2008 Mr Uhdd and his running buddy, Laidbackfellrunner ran a ‘Bob Graham Round’, a Lakeland fell running challenge, 42 peaks, in 24hours

The event starts and finishes at the Moot Hall in Keswick.

Here is Laidbackfellrunner, as he slams home into the doors of the Moot Hall, completing his run in  22 hrs and 14min.

The event was memorable to say the least, and just to ensure the memory remains indelible, Laidbackfellrunner has commissioned a tattoo as a visual reminder, here it is.

  1. Ow, ow ow! Church indeed.

    Thank goodness fellrunners don’t go haring over hill and dale in the South. Imagine if the challenge had ended at the Houses of Parliament–the tat would run clear around his ribs.

    Yowch!

  2. I have seen some tattoos in my day, but I think this one is one of the most amazing…..in both good and bad ways. It is amazingly well done, it looks amazingly painful to have had it done. After 22 hours of running, though, I imagine it was easy.
