Iron Maiden singer competes in Grasmere fell race
Bruce Dickinson (right) sets off on the Guides Race
MEMBERS of heavy metal giants Iron Maiden partied for three days in the Lake District and ran for the hills as part of a traditional event.
Heavy-metal musicians Bruce Dickinson and Dave Murray were in Grasmere for the wedding of manager Andy Taylor’s daughter Louise.
Louise got married to Mark Christie at a church ceremony in Grasmere but the wedding party and their guests took over the Wordsworth Hotel and spa for three days — where they were treated to outdoor BBQs and rocked to a string of live bands from across the country.
And on Sunday lead singer Dickinson, who has sold 75m albums with Maiden, donned his sports gear and brought a smile to the face of locals by taking part in Grasmere Sport’s Guides Race — where he came 161st out of 181.
