Joss Naylor is a Cumberland hill sheep farmer who was nearly crippled when young, and had three discs removed from his spine when he was 21. To get himself fit he used to run up and down the mountains - 30, 40, 50 miles a day - until today he is one of the champion fell runners in the Lake District. His farm borders Wastwater, awe-inspiringly sombre in twilight, breathtakingly Beautiful in sunlight. In the neighbourhood they boast 'the deepest lake in England, the highest mountain, the smallest church.'
