Book excerpt: Hamish Brown has been an outdoorsman for more than sixty years. The first person to complete an uninterrupted round of Scotland's Munros, his account of the feat in Hamish's Mountain Walk is a classic of Scottish mountain literature. Throughout those years he has contributed articles and essays to many journals and, in this selection, he presents not an autobiography or some overview of life, but a very personal record of his many journeys and interests from his 'dancing days of spring' to his present, very active, later life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a record of three of Roger’s long-distance walks in Scotland. The first of these was from Cape Wrath to Knoydart, a route said by many to have the finest coastline in Britain. The second was in South West Scotland, from the Rhinns of Galloway to Iona, a place of pilgrimage for centuries. The third expedition was through the Outer Hebrides—anyone who has studied the map of Britain cannot have failed to have been attracted to the string of islands that constitute the Western Isles. They lie like a defensive barrier for the north Scottish mainland, against the mighty waves of the Atlantic Ocean. From the lone shieling of the island Mountains divide us, and the waste of seas – Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland, And we in dreams behold the Hebrides. Canadian Boat Song

Download or read book Another Shore written by Roger Legg and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Boy Scout days Roger Legg has obtained great pleasure from long-distance walking. On the whole he does not like following footpath routes designated by Acts of Parliament, nor following books of instructions on how to get from A to B ... proceed for one mile; turn left at the farm gate; be careful of the marsh at the bottom of hill ..... It all sounds a bit like joining the army and often fails to get the walker off the beaten track. Rather he prefers to plan his own route, to use map and compass. This book is a record of six journeys which he made in the British Isles during the years 1980 to 1991. He hopes the reader will enjoy his adventures; as that great walker George Borrow said many years ago: ..... these British Islands ... where more strange things are every day occurring, whether in road or street, house or dingle

Download or read book Looking Up, Looking Down written by Geoff Woods and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I am a fifty-year-old married father of two who has spent much of his life (when not interrupted by studying or work) outside, either playing sport or walking in the hills.” Geoff Woods’ first book, Looking Up, Looking Down, explores his adventures in the British hills over the past forty years. Starting as a child on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, Geoff casts a wry eye back on his escapades in some of the more remote parts of Britain. Usually on foot but occasionally on a bike, these, without fail, involve fantastic scenery, remarkable weather, and a trip to the pub with his mates. The central theme of the book is Geoff’s long-term ambition to climb the Munros, Scotland’s 3000-foot mountains. He reflects on some of his more memorable trips, usually at Easter and on the friendships forged over a camping stove and a pint. Although Looking Up, Looking Down is not intended to be a guidebook to the British hills, it is a great way for readers to explore iconic upland areas and hidden gems of our beautiful island. It will appeal to readers who enjoy memoirs and laughing at someone else’s expense, as well as those who have an interest in outward-bound-type activities.

Download or read book The Munros and Tops written by Chris Townsend and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-05-24 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Chris Townsend reached the summit of Ben Hope in Sutherland, he walked his way into the record books. After 118 days in which he had covered more than 1,700 miles and climber over 575,000 feet, he had completed the first single continuous journey of all 277 Munros and 240 Tops in the Scottish Highlands.This is the story of that remarkable walk from the start on Ben More on the Isle of Mull through to the finish, the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest 18 times. For the author, the real enjoyment of the walk was not in counting up the summits or the miles but in spending week after week in the hills and living in the wilds. In THE MUNROS AND TOPS, Chris Townsend recalls the joys of observing the birds and animals, the trees and flowers, the changing shapes of the hills and the play of light on their slopes. He writes about the complexities of route-finding and the challenge of rugged terrain and of coping with often atrocious weather conditions. Illustrated with photographs taken during the walk, this is a stirring account of a unique achievement.
