Book Description

A classic of mountain writing and still in demand over ten years after its first publication, this book takes you to the little places of big importance along one mountain-climber's trail.

Ideal for nostalgic climbers, this book is by two well-known experts who write in an easy philosophical style. A volume that will interest anyone who likes the outdoors and appreciates communal living in the elements.

Well written stories - not just another guidebook.......2000-08-02

There are a lot of 'coffeetable' books on the market today with impressive pictures that look good in the bookshop, but once you get them home you realise there is not much content. The same is true for most guidebooks, with their 'park 100 yards past the gate, turn left at the fence' style. This however, is different, giving a real feel of the outdoors culture in the Highlands of Scotland - and there is MUCH more going on than simply parking your car, going for a walk, and returning home - through the medium of entertaining true stories. This was one of the books that inspired me (it is a good few years old, now a reprint) along with 'Always a Little Further' by Alasdair Borthwick, 'Hamish's Big Walk' by Hamish Brown, and 'Undiscovered Scotland' by WH Murray.
