    Re: Fell Running Books

    Great list, but you've missed out one of the best;

    Running High by Hugh Symonds (1991: Lochar, ISBN 0-948403-91-8)

    Don't know how I'd survive without that excuse to eat as many xmas puds as I like

    You haven't got Running High, Hugh Symmonds?

    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.
