Fellrunning Film

[El Gordo]

Thoroughly enjoyed the film. Beautifully made. The woman commentator (Camille?) had it absolutely right when she talked about the value of participation vs spectating.

Must confess I felt a deep stab of longing when I saw the pub scenes. I B & B-ed in a Kettlewell pub once. Was it that one I wonder? The thunk of the hand pumps tickled my nostalgia nodes, for sure.

I hope you've sent copies to the BBC, and Runners World (US and UK and elsewhere) and the newspapers, and everywhere. Really good film-making, both technically and narratively. Both GM and his talented, lovely wife should feel extremely proud -- and deserve some recognition.

For anyone who has not bought a copy, you should do so. For a fiver, it's an absolute bargain.
