Is there a book out at the moment on Fellrunning which may be shortlisted for Boardman Tasker award or some other kind of award. What's the name of the book.
In reply to grizz: Don't know if it is the one that's shortlisted, but "Feet in the Clouds" by Richard Askwith is a strong possibility as a recent publication. I'm in the middle of it now.
A good read, but it does get a bit dull in the middle with lots of specific history about fell running. But the characters described are nails hard and amzing athletes.
In reply to grizz: I thought this book was brilliant. Anyone thinking of doing a mountain marathon should read the chapter where he does the LAMM - spot on
