Bob Toogood - Veteran fell runner

Bob Toogood started caving in the mid-1950s when he was fourteen, and in a long and illustrious caving career has been involved with major explorations in all of the main caving areas of the UK, as well as abroad, accompanied by some of the best cavers of the day. When he was in his forties, domestic duties kept him out of the caves, and Pete Livesey enticed him into fell running. In the 1980s and 1990s he proved himself to be one of the best in the country in his age group, winning a number events. In this interview Bob talks a little about his fell running days.
