Kingsley JonesTrail and Fell Running in the Lake District: 40 Routes in the National Park Including Classic Routes (Trail Running): 40 runs in the National Park including classic routes

It’s a brilliant guide. It’s suitable for walkers too. A lot of time and thought went into planning the routes in this book. Some routes are well known, some were off the beaten track - even the sheep looked surprised to see me at times.Gpx routes were my primary source but I liked to follow the route descriptions as I went along. Routes, book, map, a set of spare batteries and a world is your oyster. The Lake District part in this case.

Bought this for my last trip to the Lakes and was not disappointed. Was an extremely useful companion. The book comes with GPX files which I downloaded to my Sports Watch and never had an issue finding my way.All descriptions and directions were spot on. We are quite slow fell runners and did find the duration times a bit low as it took us much longer in general. Other than that I could not recommend more!

I made this purchase as a Christmas gift which looks as outlined on the website.

Clear guide, and the author knows his stuff. It’s easy to pack away in a bag too. Good insight without seeming like running in mountains for pros.Well worth a read.

Loved this book - saves me having to imagine all the possible run routes in the Lakes and their respective benefits. I can even download it to my phone to take with me. Clear maps and instructions, and a great selection of routes.

A present and well received.

Excellent

An absolute must for all trail runners and lovers of the Lakes - this region has some of the most beautiful and fabulous trailing routes and this book details them for you! Whether beginners, elite, hikers or runners - all routes are categorized (distance, steepness, vertical, descent, etc) so you can select one that suits you. So well written, great descriptions and directions. Helping the community, all runs start and end in a pub - what better way to finish a hard day in the fells with a pie and a pint! An absolute favourite with my fellow runners and family - we love this book! A must buy!
