    Fellrunning e-books

    If you like to read on a Kindle, 'It's a hill, get over it: fell running's history and characters' is available for Kindle for 99p from Amazon for this weekend only .... also note that 'The Round: in Bob Graham's footsteps' is also available as an e-book.
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Its-Hill-Ove...0731478&sr=8-1
    If you like touchy-feely books, I will be signing copies of both books in their proper format at a talk at the Keswick Mountain Festival next month.

    In addition:

    The Summer 2012 Fellrunner included a list of all the books in Bill Smith's personal libary (which I sold, on behalf of Bill's sisters, with the proceeds going to Mountain Rescue). Whilst the list included some "obvious" fell running books other books were rarer or more specialised eg Manchester Marathons 1908-2002 by Ron Hill and Neil Shuttleworth and Neil's Bolton UH & AC A Short Review of the First 100 Years.
    "...as dry as the Atacama desert".

    These are not fell running books but include names and some details of athletes who ran over the fells.

    Here you go, not a huge amount of fell running (more cross-country) but many famous local Yorkshire runners from times past https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08KH13381/

    Has anybody read this book yet?

    Tripping Over Clouds by Lucy Bennett

    Some reviews indicate that it contains poems about fell running.

    Quote Originally Posted by Lucy Burnett

    Here is a YouTube reading by the author.
    She is a member of Keswick AC.
