From somewhere out in the vast whiteness of the blizzard we hear a
cry for help. Instinctively the three of us turn and head across
the mountainside. We find two men and a woman, huddled together in
the snow, unable to descend the steep icy slope between them and
safety. The woman asks if we are experienced in conditions like
this. My friends and I have tackled a few winter hills in the Lake
District and bumbled up easy rock climbs, but we have never been in
a full Scottish winter snowstorm. I laugh and assure her that this
is nothing to mountaineers like us. Soon our hills will be empty
and one day the last hillwalker will disappear over the horizon. In
the 21st century we are losing our connection with the wild, a
connection that may never be regained. The Last Hillwalker by
bestselling author John D. Burns is a personal story of falling in
and out of love with the hills. More than that, it is about
rediscovering a deeply felt need in all of us to connect with wild
places.
