Loved in Australia,
By Andrew Horner (Erskine, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The First Fifty: Munro-bagging without a Beard (Paperback)
Having read this book and laughed from cover to cover I posted it to my brother in Australia. He was feeling a bit low and I told him to read this as part of his medicine. He loved it and is now sharing it with his own circle of friends. Recommended reading - buy it!

A funny and truthful book about walking in Scotland,
By A Customer
This review is from: The First Fifty: Munro-bagging without a Beard (Paperback)
I find this book endlessly funny and inspiring, no matter how many times I read it. It combines humour with an understanding of the enjoyment to be gained from the Scottish mountains, and some fantastic photos too. Whenever I've not been walking for a while, this book reminds me why I love it so much. Whether you're planning on heading for the Scottish hills or not, it's hysterically funny and lays bare the truth about hillwalking...the pointy mountain you can see is always Shiehallion, the importance of tomato soup, and what is that mystery item you find in the bottom of your rucksack. I could go on, but just buy this book and you'll see what I mean.

Ms Gray must have screamed...,
By
This review is from: The First Fifty: Munro-bagging without a Beard (Paperback)
...when she saw the publisher's back cover blurb claiming "features the best routes to take plus the equipment needed", because that's exactly what her book does not do - among other things it's a spirited attack on the kind of reductionist and consumerist guff pumped out every month by the hardware-obsessed, walking-by-numbers outdoor press and sucked up by their expensively kitted-out readership.
What 'The First Fifty' does do, in spades, is to get across the intoxicating thrill and wonder (and occasional misery) of the Scottish hillgoing experience and demonstrate that, certain self-appointed and self-important guardians of the hills notwithstanding, this can all be achieved without granite thighs, stacks of arcane knowledge acquired over years of experience, taking oneself seriously, or even (whisper it) the possession of a beard.
