Review
'A beautifully written, potted history of fell-running and famouse fell-runners. Definitely worth a peep!' Country Walking 'Imagine how strange it feels not only to have read a book about fell-running, but to have enjoyed it so much that I am now contemplating trying the sport myself...a lovely little book'. Annalisa Barbieri, New Statesman -- Annalisa Barbieri New Statesman 'A minor masterpiece.' Sports Book of the Week -- Frank Graham The Sunday Times 'A rousingly readable chronicle... The book wants for nothing in terms of rhythm and drama and tug.' -- Christopher Bray The Sunday Times 'Sports book of the season - a terrific story of fell-running and obsession.' -- Blake Morrison Guardian '[An] excellent book.' -- James Eve The Times 'One of the most effervescent books about anything - never mind fell-running - that I have ever read.' -- Dave Jones Fellrunner

Feet In The Clouds
Seller: Ergodebooks, Houston, TX, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Good. PB Reissue. When it was first published, in 2004, <i>Feet in the Clouds</i> was scarcely noticed outside the world of fell-running - an esoteric sport largely confined to the north of Britain - and was even sold out of the back of a van at fell races. But, as more and more people have discovered the joys of distance running and outdoor adventure, it has been recognised as a classic exploration of an extreme sport acclaimed by runners, mountaineers, hikers and adventure sports enthusiasts.<br /><br />Richard Askwith's journey takes him into a world of forbidding rockscapes, horizontal rain, fear, exhaustion and stunning natural beauty, as well as his own attempt at one of the purest and toughest challanges imaginable: the Bob Graham Round, the sport's traditional test of 42 Lake District peaks in 24 hours.<br /><br />Along the way, he encounters some of the most prodigious - and unsung - athletes Britain has ever produced, such as Joss Naylor, who covered the equivalent of four Everests in a single run. Gripping, funny and moving, this is a story that any aspiring runner, endurance athlete or mountain-lover will understand well: of extremity, heroism and the experience of a lifetime.
