King of the Fells. Iron man. Lake District fell running legend.
Joss Naylor is all of these things and more. His achievements are
astounding, his records stand the test of time. In 1983 he
completed the 105-mile Lakes, Meres and Waters (LMW) route in a
staggering 19hr 14min and to this day, describes it as one of the
best routes he ever ran. High praise indeed and yet, so few know of
it. Part guidebook, part inspirational regaling, this book
interweaves tales of past and present as Naylor reflects on his
1983 epic on a re-walk 37 years later. In the company of
award-winning author, Vivienne Crow, Naylor recalls that magical
day, sharing stories and anecdotes from, not just his run, but the
1980s fell running scene, his working life and growing up in the
Wasdale Valley. Naylor's tales, together with breathtaking
photography, are accompanied by basic guide notes for the LMW
route, sticking as closely to his 1983 run as possible. These notes
divide the route into ten stages (ranging from 9 to 14 miles),
allowing runners and walkers to follow in the footsteps of the King
of the Fells, albeit on a more relaxed schedule. From Loweswater to
Over Water, visiting 27 of the Lake District's largest bodies of
water, the LMW route guarantees vistas of unparalleled beauty and
an unforgettable experience in true fell country.
