Gordon DouglasOct 25 2018, 3:22pmI have known Brendan Doherty for as long as I have been a member of IMRA, probably since my very first ever foray into the world of mountain running back in 1989/90 period.
IMRA is much richer organisation for having such a noble, gracious and sympathetic gentleman within its ranks.He will be sadly missed by all; and my condolences to Gavin and all his immediate family.
