... hillwalking is only one of the passions in my life. In my
experience, those who love the mountains are passionate people who
are passionate about many things. That said, there are times, as I
describe herein, when I simply have to go to the hills. - RALPH
STORER Ralph Storer's highly entertaining exploration of the lure
of the hills is underpinned by hard-won experience - he has climbed
extensively in the British Isles, Europe and the American West,
though his abiding love is the Scottish Highlands. His breezy
anecdotes of waling and climbing around the world in all sorts of
conditions are gripping and full of fun. This man has done more
things in a sleeping bag than sleep, and in The Joy of Hillwalking
he cheerfully tells all. His sense of humour is as irrepressible as
his relish for adventurous ascents, but he doesn't have his head in
the clouds when it comes to serious issues such as public access
and conservation.

In February 2019, award-winning writer Alex Roddie left his online
life behind when he set out to walk 300 miles through the Scottish
Highlands, seeking solitude and answers. In leaving the chaos of
the internet behind for a month, he hoped to learn how it was truly
affecting him - or if he should look elsewhere for the causes of
his anxiety. The Farthest Shore is the story of Alex's solo trek
along the remote Cape Wrath Trail. As he journeyed through a
vanishing winter, Alex found answers to his questions, learnt the
nature of true silence, and discovered frightening evidence of the
threats faced by Scotland's wild mountain landscape.
