Enid became a state registered nurse and eventually served as an NHS health visitor for many years in and around Ossett.

The couple were very keen rock-climbers and their enthusiasm for outdoor sports and the outdoors continued through out their lives together.

The enjoyed holiday climbing in Italian Dolomites and mountainous areas in France and Switzerland.

Alan became a marathon runner, completing the first London Marathon in 1981 and subsequently some 58 running events of marathon length including a few longer races up to 100km.

Enid was a keen walker and together they completed many via ferrata, which are climbs assisted by wire ropes and ladders.

Mr Braddock became an enthusiast for the study of fungi and for several years was the recorder and editor of the Mid-Yorkshire Fungus group. The couple continue to record and study fungi.
The couple have daughter and a son – Susan and Ian – as well as six grandchildren and two great grand-daughters.
