‘FEET IN THE CLOUDS’ - A Tale of Fell Running and Obsession by RICHARD ASKWITH
Voted ‘Best New Writer’ by British Sports Publishing Awards, and ‘Sports book of the season’ The
Guardian.
In this evocative account of a season on the fells, Richard explores fell-running in the most authentic
way: by putting on his studded shoes and running as many great races as possible. He encounters the
sports all-time greats: athletes of astounding endurance and tenacity, yet mostly unknown outside
their own valleys.
‘One of the best books on extreme sporting endeavour you will ever read’ -INDEPENDENT
‘A minor masterpiece… Askwith brings the men and the mountains to life focusing on the indomitable
spirit that drives otherwise sane people to pursue an obsession few of us can comprehend’ - SUNDAY
