The Climbing Chronicles record the 1940s climbing exploits of Harry
Parker. Born in Blackburn on 29 February 1916, Harry started
climbing before the war and continued to do so after its
conclusion, exploring the Peak District, Wales, the Lake District
and Scotland. Each night he noted down his adventures in his
'chronicles', recording the routes he climbed, the walks, bicycle
rides and journeys he undertook, and the people he met along the
way. Harry's remarkable diaries have now been transcribed by his
son John, and the resulting Chronicles offer a first-hand view of
climbing and walking in Britain in the 1940s. With an enthusiasm
for the outdoors and a sense of fun that springs from every entry,
The Climbing Chronicles is an entertaining and fascinating - not to
mention quirky - read.
