John Myatt

Having spent most of his career overseas, living and working in Sudan, Cairo, Hong Kong, Amsterdam and Bahrain, John Myatt now lives in the Lake District in the north of England. Since his retirement from teaching and school administration John ha devoted his time to researching running routes in the Cumbrian Mountains. He is passionate about the benefits of running on physical and mental health, especially running in wide-open spaces over beautiful and varied terrain. He runs every day, a streak reaching back to 1994, often over the fells close to his door, and hopes to open up the magic of running over mountains to a wider section of the running community. John often runs with a camera, taking photos to sustain his enthusiasm for the natural world. He is a member of Penrith based Eden Runners and is also a member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild.
