A very comfortable read for winter evenings.,

This review is from: Hamish's Mountain Walk And Climbing The Corbetts (Hardcover)
Anyone who has had some experience of Scottish hills will find this an excellant read. This could be considered an alternative form of guide book as it links the Munros together by routes that the average walker or Munro bagger would not normally consider. Thank you Ann for the recommendation.

This review is from: Hamish's Mountain Walk And Climbing The Corbetts (Hardcover)
This is the best book on mountaineering in Scotland there is. Since hillwalking in the Highlands of Scotland has no equal, then this may as well be the best book on mountaineering altogether. Hamish's style is reminiscent of John Buchan's "John McNab". His love for the hill gushes off the page and is utterly inspiring. It takes a greater skill to paint such a glorious picture than it does to pepper a story with dramatic mishaps; Joe Simpson this is not. Like Hamish, I am happiest in the mountains and he echoes the love of the hills that so many of us feel in such a perfectly pitched literary manner. It's such a shame this book is out of print. It is the perfect accompaniment to both the SMC Monroe/ Corbett guide books or Martin Moran's Munroes in Winter. Only a few pages in, you are flicking through your diary and mulling over when is the soonest I can return to the hills - the land where we are all kings. So often novels carry the newspaper review along the lines of "I finished the book and turned straight back to the beginning and read it through again"... this is a sentiment that has always seemed hard to swallow; however if it wasn't for an urge to run up fell and glen I would be re-reading this book as soon as I have closed the back cover. If you can find it - read it.

Hamish's Mountain Walk,
By Mount Keen (Somerset, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hamish's Mountain Walk And Climbing The Corbetts (Hardcover)
This must rank as one of the classics of Scottish Mountaineering literature. I read it first back in the early 1980's and it really didinspire me to climb many of those mountains visited by Hamish on his long trek over the Munros. But its not just about the mountains. Hamish A wonderful book to read from end to end or simply to dip into.
