Over The Hill At 60 Something?

Description

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 who’s set their eyes on the high places of Cumbria – then set off to conquer them.

About Inspired by Lakeland...

Inspired by Lakeland was founded by Keswick-based publisher and Countrystride broadcaster Dave Felton.

“I set up Inspired by Lakeland to make books and gifts inspired by the wild places I love.

We believe in caring for our landscapes and communities. As such we print on paper that is FSC approved, with our local Penrith printers planting trees for each book printed. The cotton in our UK-made tea towels is 100% organic. And our place-mats and coasters use up-cycled eucalyptus.

Everything we sell is designed locally, with a percentage of profits ploughed back into local business and Cumbrian-based charities.

We have won multiple awards for our books, including Lakeland Book of the Year for Amy Bateman’s Forty Farms and The Lake District in 101 Maps & Infographics, and the Holyer An Gof Children’s Book of the Year award for The Cornwall Sticker Book.
