Sorry to hear this very sad news.
First met him on challenge in 1986 or 87.
Pete epitomised all that is good about the challenge.
He was also an excellent router vetter.
My condolences to Avril, young Pete their family and friends.

Very sorry to hear this. He vetted a Challenge route for me and was most thorough. My sympathies to his wife and family.

So sorry to hear this. It was always a great pleasure to meet 'Mr Grumpy'. Although he clearly enjoyed his Grumpy persona - I remember how much he liked his Mr Grumpy keyring - he certainly wasn't grumpy in real life - quite the opposite.

He will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to Avril and his family.

I am very sad to hear this awful news, although I knew his time was not far off when I heard from Avril that he was poorly around eighteen months ago. He was a very kind and lovely man - despite not suffering fools gladly (!) - and always so helpful and full of useful suggestions and ideas. He will be very much missed - my heart goes out to Avril.
