About this Item

First edition, first impression. Award winning book, wonderfully produced with many colour hand drawn illustrations. An illustrated log of running the Lakeland summits as listed in the Wainwright Pictorial Guides. By Barry Holmes. Recently-retired Barry Holmes thought he was over the hill at 60. So he bought a pair of running shoes and challenged himself to bag the Lakeland fells. His mission sometimes painful, often wet, occasionally meandering, but always entertaining takes him to all 214 Wainwright summits as he battles bracken, blizzards and blisters; injuries, white-outs, and weary limbs to discover the best and worst of Lakeland. Part graphical love-letter to the Lake District and part journal of a runner finding his stride, Over the Hill at 60 Something? a gorgeous 144-page hardback - will absorb and inspire anyone whos set their eyes on the high places of Cumbria then set off to conquer them. Mint in a Mint d/w.
