The more I walk the hills, the more I become aware that I am
hearing echoes which resonate with other echoes, footfalls on
footfalls. When you make your footfalls on the mountains, you are
not simply experiencing beauty as in a museum or gallery. With your
eyes and ears you can see and hear what has gone before you,
appropriate it and immeasurably enrich your experience. This is the
story of the adventures of Stobcross Gentlemen’s Climbing Club.
Against all the odds thrown up by the Scottish weather, faulty map
reading and the symptoms of physical decline, they strove to
maintain the fine traditions of Scottish mountaineering. They
battled through their Munros and Corbetts whilst valiantly trying
to celebrate Burns’ Night, Guy Fawkes Night and Hogmanay in a
ritual calendar of the Scottish Hills. Alongside these adventures
are explorations of a different kind – ones into the history of
the bothies and the mountains that make up the present-day
landscape, as well as the stories of those who have vacated the
bens and glens within living memory. Based on Ian Mitchell’s
research and experiences, Mountain Footfalls adds a new dimension
to hillwalkers’ appreciation and enjoyment of the Scottish
Highlands.
