Ian Bennett

[Malcolm Parker]

What dreadful news.   I first came across Ian on one of the early Pennine Runs, probably the first in 1997.  He was in his Ruby which he hadn't had for long, with his wife and small boys.  Geoff Roe and myself were in my Subaru acting as back-up car following the field through the Yorkshire Dales, up some very stiff climbs indeed.  Ian was having some problems with the Ruby which was struggling, but with a little help he got to the half-way stop in Barnard Castle.  He will be greatly missed.
