Sad to report that Ken passed away a couple of days ago. As long time landlord of the Quiet Woman in earl Sterndale Ken will be remembered by many Peak District cavers and climbers. Beneath a seemingly gruff exterior Ken was a good friend to many and his pub was one of the few remaining real pubs where a chat and pint remained more important than a bland greeting and a gastro menu. Our thoughts are with Jenny and the rest of the family.
