Feet in the Clouds

[daz h]

I've read FITC at least three times, find it quite inspiring to be honest. I don't enter many races, have only just joined a club, and usually run on my own with just my dog for company, but it strikes a chord with me. In fact, it's his descriptions of lakeland classics that have got me wanting to get more involved in the fell running thing and enter a few races. If he made a few bob out of it - good luck to him!

The joss naylor section in mine is half missing.
There is several pages not there. Odd and i asked mr asquith what had happened. He didnt know.
Its a very early one

I bought this book a week or so ago intending to take it on holiday with me in a couple of weeks but i couldnt resist reading it and by the time my holiday comes i'll have finished it.
So although there are lists of fell running books on here, what other book should i get. It needs to be really good, not just a title you know plucked out of your head or of the lists on this forum.

THE BEN NEVIS RACE by Charles Steel

Is mr asquith a forumite?

New book coming out on the history and characters of fell running. Been a while since Studmarks in the Summits and Feet in the Clouds so should be interesting to see if it's a up to the standard of the predecessors:

Description:-
This book offers a detailed history of the sport of fell running. It also tells the stories of some of the great exponents of the sport through the ages. Many of them achieved greatness whilst still working full time in traditional jobs, a million miles away from the professionalism of other branches of athletics nowadays. The book covers the early days of the sport, right through to it going global with World Championships. Along the way it profiles influential athletes such as Fred Reeves, Bill Teasdale, Kenny Stuart, Joss Naylor, and Billy and Gavin Bland. It gives background to the athletes including their upbringing, introduction to the sport, training, working life, records and achievements. It also includes in-depth conversations with some of the greats, such as Jeff Norman and Rob Jebb.

WHAT? No mention of Holmsie???

Thank goodness for that. It may take more than one chapter though.

Cheers Dom.
