In Episode 3 of “Assa Marra,” I'm absolutely thrilled to chat with Richard Askwith, the acclaimed author behind Feet in the Clouds. This book dives deep into the exhilarating world of fell running, capturing the essence of the sport, its challenges as well as its hero’s .Touching on the Bob Graham Round—a legendary fell running challenge in the Lake District - this gruelling 66-mile circuit over 42 peaks, with an ascent of 26,900 feet, was first completed by Bob Graham in 1932 and has since become a bucket-list achievement for endurance runners and the nemesis of Richard. We’ll also delve into the rugged beauty of Cumbria, whose dramatic landscapes have inspired countless adventurers and writers alike. It’s a reet good listen, marra! Hosted on Acast.
