Natalie White

That’s Natalie White doing the chasing, in her pyjamas. You couldn’t make this story on the front page of the Westmorland Gazette up, but it’s true, every word. So much interest has this story gathered that it has now reached the national press, and now national radio!

It all happened after a couple of late-night revelers had got nasty with Natalie’s buddy Tim Austin.

A FEARLESS Kendal fell runner pursued an alleged assailant through the streets of a Lake District town – in her pyjamas and trainers. Natalie White, 28, a former British hill running champion, sprinted after a man she believed had butted her friend in the face leaving him poleaxed on the ground with severe injuries.

The fearless White then apprehended the knackered thug after she out ran him, and he collapsed on the ground. Tune into BBC Radio 5 Live’s Drive show this evening (13 May) at around 5.55pm for Natalie’s take on this odd tale from the Lakes…
