Off-Road Running Sarah Rowell (Crowood Press 2002)

No fellrunner should be without a copy.

There's also an updated "e-book" of "Mountain Navigation for Runners" by Martin Bagness, published last year.

I was fortunate to be given a copy of "A History of the Mountain Trial" a couple of weeks back. It's a really good read.
