Mountains, running and books
I’m thrilled to be taking part in the first ever Otley Bookfest in West Yorkshire. My event, starting at 7pm, will be a chaired discussion involving some genuine stars of the mountain-running scene (Sarah Rowell, Carl Morris, Boff Whalley) as well as me. May also include some actual running, at some point in the three-day festival – which also includes a host of other great events. All welcome…

A Dartmoor retreat for runners and writers
If y0u’re a runner who wants to do more as a writer, or a writer who wants to do more as a runner, or a bit of both, this is a brilliant and refreshing way to give your ambitions a bit of momentum. It’s a relaxed, adventurous weekend on Dartmoor – wild outdoors but beautifully comfortable indoors – in which Adharanand Finn and I, and your fellow guests, will help you work out your next steps, in a warm and friendly environment. This is the fifth time we’ve done this retreat, and the previous four have all been fabulous. Details here.
