A sad loss.
We visit the lake district frequently and have been here for the last few weeks. We have visited Honister several times and met Mark a number of times. We often saw his green Gazelle flying down the valleys.
What he achieved at Honister is remarkable and I hope that it will continue to thrive as a fitting memorial to a very special individual.
The weather here last night was very stormy with high winds, rain and poor visibility. Honister pass acts as a funnel for the wind, which can be tricky at the best of times.
All our thoughts are with his family, friends and employees.
He will be greatly missed.
