Latest book that I've read is the new James Rebanks one, English Pastoral.
I liked it better than the first one. His writing style has improved!
It was a Christmas/Birthday present.

My latest read has nothing whatsoever to do with running, David Buckley's fabulous biography of Kraftwerk. It's been out a while but I've just not had chance to get through it, likewise the crazy Marc Almond biography I've just finished
This is a great read and has given me a whole new appreciation of the humble tree. highly recommended :-

The Book of Trespass, by Nick Hayes. I am about halfway through reading it.
I don't know if the remaining chapters cover either: disused quarries that become informal recreational facilities but are then strongly fenced off; or areas which are artificially landscaped for the benefit of people who like hitting small white balls into holes. But these were the locations of my trespassing on today's walk.
In his lifetime he suffered from unreality, as do so many Englishmen.

I like Turnbull's books too, very readable. One particular passage from Lakeland Mountain Challenges (the Bob Graham bit, p.153) always sticks in my mind: FAILURE: Second attempts in August rarely succeed. You're still tired from last time, the bracken and heather are higher, and it's liable to be far too hot.

There's a disused quarry on greenhow hill opposite the church, I think it's known as duck street quarry. There is a very good level at the far end leading you directly into a sun fracture of the craven fault system. Very much worth climbing over the barbed wire for a look, it was extensively stoped.
