Acknowledgements

This book is the result of a lifetime of discovering and running in the Lake District, and countless pairs of worn-out fell running shoes. There are too many people to thank for their input, but I’m deeply indebted to all the running clients and friends who accompanied me on the routes, and none more so than my Bernese mountain dog Maximus, who knows these routes better than anyone else. Thank you all for running with me on the good days, and the others of wind, snow, ice, floods and rain!

A huge thanks to all the team at Cicerone for their support and belief in this project: Jonathan, Joe and Andrea, and also to Georgia for her patience in editing. This book is my second in their new running series, and I’m eternally grateful to Cicerone for listening to this idea.

My biggest debt of gratitude is to my wife Sarah for putting up with me doing endless route research, which anyone less charitable might have described as escaping the house to go on yet another fell run!
