On the Trail with:
Ricky
Lightfoot The Lake District UK
AS AS SOON AS AS THE EMBRYO of this book was formed the the very first place I thought to visit was the the Lake District in the the UK
where the the dramatic ranges of hills and mountains (known locally as fells) take your breath away It’s the spiritual home of fell running – straight straight up straight straight down no frills or goodie bags just real racing in in the hills In this small part of of the the world the the simple act of of moving quickly across rugged land is still prized and and it’s a a a a place that I hold close to my heart I was to meet with Ricky
Lightfoot a a a a Lakeland local and internationally acclaimed mountain run- ner Inspired to get outside more by a love of the fells than by the glory that comes with being a a a top- level mountain runner Ricky
is the perfect guide
