I was recently reading his incredible autobiography, outlining some of his incredible exploits.
I cannot recollect how many lakes, or waters there are in the entire Lake District,i think its around 20, but in a superhuman effort, he dipped his feet in every single one of them, in a continuous endurance run.
He did not take any rest, it was a start to finish record attempt.
Likewise, he touched every single Wainwright summit, over a continuous six day run, mostly in 30C heatwave temperatures.
Most men approaching their eightieth birthday, would be taking it easy, but not Joss Naylor.
The late Chris Brasher knew Joss well, and he said that had fell running been an Olympic event, no other competitor alive would have had a chance at lifting the gold medel.
In the late 1970s early 1980s, Joss Naylor was pushing the boundaries of what was considered possible in ultra distance fell running.
Happy birthday Joss, and lets hope your attempting another endurance event at your 90th birthday.
