Bedtime reading
Does anyone know where I could buy a copy of "Stud Marks on the Summits"? Or, failing that, does anyone have a copy I could borrow? Cheers. Quentin
Copies are getting as rare as hen's teeth ! One sold recently on ebay for well over a hundred quid. I sourced a copy a couple of years ago through the public library. A good read with several Keswick members included.
£100 and I have just given Pete Trainor his copy back!. I borrowed Scoffa's copy so you could ask him. Must say that it wasn't the most exciting book I have read but still worth getting hold off.
It's an interesting read but, as Pete says, it's more of a reference/history guide than say Feet In The Clouds. But worth having a look at if you can get a copy. I particularly enjoyed reading about how the National Championships have developed over the years since inception.
Be warned though Q, the training schedules in the Personal Profiles are frightening. There's even a Mr D. Overton of Kendal AC being partcularly blase about 100 miles per week on the fells!
If (a) it's not a great read and (b) it contains frightening training schedules, maybe I will stick to listening to Chumbawamba's song of the same name. Does anyone have that?!?

If it's that rare, sought after and expensive, maybe we should try to re-publish it? Or get the FRA to?
