Feet in the Clouds is a masterpiece that has captured the hearts of trail runners and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Written by Richard Askwith, a bestselling author known for his book Eat and Run, this captivating tale takes readers on a journey into the world of fell running.
Published twenty years ago, Feet in the Clouds remains the definitive story of this exhilarating sport and a modern sports classic. Richard Askwith's journey takes him into a realm of forbidding rocky hills, horizontal rain, fear, exhaustion, and stunning natural beauty. Along the way, he encounters some of the most prodigious and unsung athletes that Britain has produced, such as Joss Naylor, who covered the equivalent of four Everests in a single run.
Feet in the Clouds is a gripping, funny, and moving story that resonates with aspiring runners, endurance athletes, and mountain lovers. It explores the extremes of sporting endeavor, showcasing the heroism and resilience of those who venture into the ancient, wild landscapes. The point of fell running is not fame or fortune, but rather the pure joy of running in the natural world and being a hero within one's own valley.
This book has been fully revised with a new epilogue and an introduction by bestselling author Robert Macfarlane. It provides a complete portrait of one of the few sports that has remained utterly true to its roots, offering a glimpse into the passion, dedication, and spirit of fell runners.
Whether you are a seasoned trail runner or a newcomer to the world of outdoor adventure, Feet in the Clouds is a must-read that will inspire, entertain, and leave you in awe of the human spirit's ability to conquer the mountains.
