We always pursued the idea of being able to artificially create a machine with human qualities. Stronger, smarter, braver, this super human has fuelled the imagination of science-fiction writers and filmmakers throughout history. And while we’re still a long way from a world populated by the robots from our favourite movies, the technology that could power them already exist. It’s called Artificial Intelligence, “A.I.”. We don’t see it and yet the technology is everywhere: in our phones, computers, cars, at the doctor’s, and it’s already making decisions for us, for better and sometimes for worse…

Nearly 10 years after its first publication, Aurum are re-issuing this classic running book which has defined a genre. It includes an introduction from bestselling author Robert Macfarlane and 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 and even recklessness of a mountain goat. And theres the weather to contend with. It may make the sports pages only rarely, but in areas like the Lake District and 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 and Snowdon races attract runners from all over Britain, and beyond. Others, such as the Wasdale and 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 and 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 and 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; and Bill Teasdale, a hero of the sports earlier, professional days, whom he tracks down to his tiny cottage in the northern Lakes. And 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, and 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, and a lyrical tribute to Britains mountains and the men and women who live among them.
