This is the story of an uphill battle. A few weeks ago I spent a foggy winter morning high up in The Lake District photographing some average joe masochists attempt a hill known simply as ‘The Struggle’ for the UK Hill Climb National Championships. There’s nothing quite like the sounds of “I can’t feel my legs. I can’t feel my legs” as competitors cross the finish line, to know your photographic trip has been worthwhile. Much respect to all those nut jobs who saw this as a good day out. Photography is nothing without you.
