Lace up your running shoes and prepare to be transported to the rugged, windswept fells of northern England. "Feet in the Clouds" by Richard Askwith is a breathtaking exploration of the niche sport of fell-running, where athletes pit themselves against nature's most daunting terrain. With vivid prose and an infectious passion, Askwith immerses readers in the world of these intrepid runners, tracing the sport's history and delving into the lives of its most iconic figures. From lung-busting ascents to hair-raising descents, this book captures the thrill, camaraderie, and sheer exhilaration of fell-running like no other.
Richard Askwith is an award-winning journalist and author who has contributed to publications such as The Independent and The Sunday Times. His love affair with fell-running began in the 1980s, and his dedication to the sport shines through on every page of this modern classic. With a keen eye for detail and a deep respect for the fell-running community, Askwith has crafted a work that resonates with runners and non-runners alike, celebrating the indomitable human spirit and our innate connection to the great outdoors.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
