Johnny Parsons

Runner

From the depths of Peru our very own Paddington Bear, if slightly taller and err… less bear like, moved south from fighting it out in the chaos of Lima, but still trying to escape whenever he can...

Born & brought up in the Lakes, Johnny has been into the mountains since he was a nipper. Moved house 29 times. Currently residing in Arequipa.

Predominantly a (pretty average) fell runner, but never really set the world alight.
Have been dining out on his Bob Graham Round for way too long now, but Johnny enjoys coming up with all sorts of quirky adventures when he can. Been dodging injuries and keep continually trying to get properly fit again in the mountains of Peru.

Good coffee, mmm...
