Lovely little documentary on Joss Naylor: "Fuelled by apple cake and Guinness, the English sheep farmer from the Lake District [...], broke multiple long-distance running records. In 1971, he ran the fastest known time on Britain's National Three Peaks, a record that stands today; aged 50, he ran all 214 Wainwrights in seven days; when he turned 60, he ran 60 Lakeland fell tops in 36 hours; and at 70, he ran 70 fells. Naylor died this year at the age of 88."
