Life changing mountains,
By
This review is from: The Mountains of England and Wales: Wales v. 1 (Paperback)
If you like to climb hills and you live within driving distance of Wales, then this may just be the best book ever. 188 peaks over 2000 feet described so you can clamber, crawl or hobble to the top. This book is the perfect size to fit into a cagoul pocket and has a waterproof cover. It contains great and pithy descriptions and lovely line drawings. My copy has been with me almost every weekend over the last two summers. Every peak in Wales worth climbing is in here along with some that are not. There are clear explanations of all the routes but not so much detail that you could manage without the map. John and Anne Nuttall clearly know their stuff and they love to be in the mountains. Some of these hills are desolate, some are made up of endless bogs. Many are dramatic, some magnificent and all of them are inspiring in one way or another. Just driving to these hills feels good getting to the top feels great. If this book inspires you to haul your weary body to the top of the Glyders, the Carneddau or the Rhinogs you might just discover that you never want to go back to the office again. I'm about half way through and I just will not be happy until I have conquered all 188 tops. Beware, this book could change your life.

Excellent book, but...,

This review is from: The Mountains of England and Wales: Wales v. 1 (Paperback)
...you need to be dedicated to "bagging" small bumps in isolated areas. I like the Nuttalls books, they're informative and fun.
However, I never liked drawn photos. I think it looks cheap. very good value if your climbing serious hills and mountains in Wales.
