Feet in the Clouds by Richard Askwith

Feet in the Clouds by Richard Askwith

Feet in the Clouds is a chronicle of a masochistic but admirable sporting obsession and an insight into one of the oldest extreme sports.

‘A minor masterpiece’ – Frank Graham, The Sunday Times

'One of the best books about the extremes of sporting endeavour that you will ever read' – Independent on Sunday

'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

‘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, The 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, The Fellrunner

'A beautifully written, potted history of fell-running and famous fell-runners. Definitely worth a peep!' – Country Walking
