Re: Dave Prentice
Dave will be sorely missed. He was so enthusiastic about new mapping and hosting new events. It was a pleasure to work with him on the hands-free mixed sprint relay event at Perth College last year and very recently in organising Scottish athlete training at Auchingarrich, a forest which would look totally different without Dave's saw!

Re: Dave Prentice
A great loss. Dave had a great enthusiasm and ability to spot potential in an area. Auchingarrich is a great example which many thought unworthy of mapping but is now regarded an one of the top areas in central Scotland. I worked with Dave on PWT in Scone Palace and the Scottish Relays in Torlum & Drummond, where again some judicious saw-work transformed the place. Terrible news.
