Anyone recommend a good book..

[Mud Rocs]

Mountains of the Mind - Robert Macfarlane

What is it with our fascination with mountains? This is the question the book tries to answer

[Grouse]

Just finished that and it is good. Got 'In Kinder's Mists' today which is mentioned somewhere on the forum. Not running but set on Kinder and relates to a lot of the crash sites and landmarks.

Oh, and the Bible - that's a good book. Endurance events and mountain running... err the Exodus and Moses going up Mount Sinai...

I'm part way through reading The Wild Places by Robert Macfarlane. So far so good. Not a running theme but still relevant.

Not sure about 'In Kinder's Mists': a bit short and a bit wordy but I quite enjoyed it - all set on Kinder ( doh!)... er... in the mist, aircraft n' stuff.

Suspect I've already suggested this before..... well, here it is again.....

Touching My Father's Soul (In The Footsteps on TENZING NORGAY)
by Jamling Tenzing Norgay & Broughton Coburn.....

It's a cracker, exciting, humbling, wonderful! Perfect for the Winter Gloom!!!
