Rest fairly peacefully Joss, 15 mile uphill a day should do you x

What a man

Oh, that's sad.

By all accounts, he was an outstanding example of a nice and caring person who didn't allow himself to be changed just because he was superlatively good at something.

An example for us all to always be yourself.

The £5 voucher for 3rd vet40 is long since spent but I shall always remember the Joss Naylor handshake that came with it.

'Legend' is banded about too often these days, but he was truly deserving of the term. RIP. 

In reply to wilkie14c:

Sad news indeed.

I was lucky enough to walk with Joss on several occasions. A modest self-effacing man and a great walking companion (though, unsurprisingly, I struggled to keep up).

RIP
