There is no Map in Hell Book Launch
Friday, 19 May 2017There was a great crowd of hardcore fell runners at the launch of Steve Birkinshaw’s book There is no Map in Hell at Wilf's Cafe in Staveley last night. As well as a great talk by Steve about his Wainwrights round, there were some searching questions:
‘Was it worth it?'
‘It took three years off my running career, but I don’t have any regrets, at my lowest maybe I had regrets, but not now. All I can remember now is the great times running on the fells.’
Of course one of the audience had another take on it:
‘Steve, tell them about the time you burst into tears at the end of your first solo orienteering event.' – His mum, heckling from the crowd ...
