I've known Es since he was a toddler. A keen runner (and climber) from an early age he soon started to enter the fell races that take place in the Peak District during the summer. It wasn't long before he was leaving his dad Rob and myself way behind. In May this year, after a couple of earlier attempts, he nocked 15 mins of the record for the traverse of the Cuillin Ridge on the Isle of Skye. His finished time was 3hrs 17min 28secs.
This is a shot of him training on the path above Baslow Edge.
