In 2008 Mark Clarke embarked on a journey to visit the highest
point in each of the eighty-five historic counties in Great
Britain. Over the course of four years, he walked over 500 miles
and climbed over 100,000 feet, sampling all that is great about
Britain along the way. Mark's journey took in the mountainous
summits of Scotland and Wales (Ben Nevis, the county top of
Inverness-shire, and Snowdon, the county top of Caernarfonshire) as
well as dozens of less visited high points, such as the
unfortunately named Boring Field in Huntingdonshire. High Point is
Mark's account of his experiences and the challenges he faced in
his travels - including suffering a broken leg on a remote hillside
in Scotland while walking alone. It is rich with historical
information and observations about Britain's counties and serves as
an indispensable guide to the historic and modern counties of Great
Britain and their highest points. Each county has its own gazetteer
section with information about the county, the county top, Mark's
ascent and local information. High point walk directions are
accompanied by an Ordnance Survey map to help you plan your own
High Point adventure.
