To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Feet in the Clouds Aurum are re-issuing this classic running book which has defined a genre. It

Includes:: an introduction from bestselling author Robert Macfarlane & an epilogue from Richard Askwith. The concept of fell-running is simple: its a sport that involves running over mountains
- sometimes one sometimes many. Its also immensely demanding. While running uphill is a stamina-sapping slog running pell-mell down the other side requires the agility
- & even recklessness
- of a mountain goat. & theres the weather to contend with. It may make the sports pages only rarely but in areas like the Lake District & Snowdonia fell-running is the basis of a whole culture
- indeed race organisers sometimes have to turn competitors away so that fragile mountain uplands are not irrevocably damaged by too many thundering feet. Fixtures like the annual Ben Nevis & Snowdon races attract runners from all over Britain & beyond. Others such as the Wasdale & Ennerdale fell runs in the Lakeland valleys
- gruelling marathons of more than 20 miles
- remain truly local events for which the whole community turns out with many of the runners back on the same fells the next day tending sheep. Now Richard Askwith explores the world of fell-running in the only legitimate way: by donning his Ron Hill vest & studded shoes to spend a season running as many of the great fell races as he can from Borrowdale to Ben Nevis: an arduous schedule that tests the very limits of ones stamina & courage. Over the months he also meets the greats of fell-running
- like the remarkable Joss Naylor who to celebrate his fiftieth birthday ran all 214 major Lakeland fells in a single week; Billy Bland the combative Borrowdale man whose astounding records still stand for many of the top races; & Bill Teasdale a hero of the sports earlier professional days whom he tracks down to his tiny cottage in the northern Lakes. & ultimately Askwiths obsession drives him to attempt the ultimate challenge: the Bob Graham Round
- a non-stop circuit of 42 of the Lake Districts highest peaks to be completed within 24 hours. This is a portrait of one of the few sports to have remained utterly true to its roots
- in which the point is not fame or fortune but to run the ancient wild landscape & to be a hero if at all within ones own valley. Feet in the Clouds is a chronicle of a masochistic but admirable sporting obsession an insight into one of the oldest extreme sports & a lyrical tribute to Britains mountains & the men & women who live among them.
