Essential advice for runners on dealing with dogs

I have often lifted a stick or a rock but haven't needed to use it. I do keep my rabbies vaccination topped up. But I still haven't worked out how to calm a dog when he gets freaked out at night by my head-torch and high visibility jacket.

Fell running

The term “fell” is an often used Northern England expression for hill or mountain. It is presumed that Shepherds were probably the first ever fell runners with the earliest documented accounts of running in the fells dating back to the 11th Century. By the 19th century organised fell runs began taking place in Cumbria in the United Kingdom. Locals raced each other up and down hills and a sport was born.

In “Of Fells and Hills” we travel with American Writer, Photographer and Trail Runner, Rickey Gates, to the UK to explore and discover the history, culture and legends of the ancient practise of Fell Running.
