About this episode
A legend within the fell running community, Steve Birkinshaw has won races including the Dragons's Back and Lakeland 100. He held the record for the Wainwrights Round in the Lake District and wrote a book about that gruelling experience, There is No Map In Hell. We speak to him about the lost art of map reading and the qualities – both physical and mental – it requires to run well in the mountains. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
