About the Author
Pete Ellwood is an experienced fell runner, running and racing in the hills for over thirty years. He has lived in the north all his life and, since his teenage years, has attempted to spend every possible waking hour on the hills and mountains. Pete holds a long service award for volunteering as a member of a mountain rescue team, and he compleated the Munros in 2003. He regularly competes in fell races and mountain marathons in the North of England and Scotland, winning a class of the Saunders Lakeland Mountain Marathon in 2013.
Pete lives on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales with his wife, two boys and a daily view of Ingleborough to keep him company.

Acknowledgements
This book would not have been possible without the help and support of a large number of people. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Settle Harriers who checked routes and posed for, or provided, photographs. Thanks also to Andrew Hinde and Rae Lonsdale for their help with the introduction and mountain rescue sections, and to Lee and Glyn, my long-time running partners, for keeping me out in the hills over many years. Special thanks to Adrian Dellbridge and Andy Ward for taking many of the photographs and for trying to make me look like the runner I am in my mind’s eye and to OMM and Helly Hansen for providing equipment.
Huge thanks to the Cicerone team, Jonathan, Joe, Andrea, Sian and Verity, for their support in turning a vague idea into an actual book.
Most of all I would like to thank my wife, Alice, and the boys, Charlie and Harry, without whose love and support this book wouldn’t have been written. For their patience and understanding of my need to be outside in the hills as often as possible, thank you.
Front cover: Superb grassy running along one of the magnificent Howgill ridges (Route 16)
