Sitting on the abrupt lump of The Wrekin with a golden sunset, looking out over a wide range of tilled and lived in countryside, the Malverns, Welsh borders, Wenlock Edge, Cotswolds, and even Chilterns in view, soaking in the lines of human history etched everywhere on the landscape, and breathing the air clean of smog, may not match a Highland peak, but it is better than sitting in Birmingham of a winter weekend and is a pleasure I would have missed out on if I didn't have Alan's book. It is my one regret that I moved back north without completing Section 42: South East England, but, thems the breaks. Now I am back I can concentrate on Corbetts, Grahams, and other interesting but lower hills and islands, all of them detailed in this book.
As well as the meat of the book, which is a region-by-region guide to the British hills with an all round 500ft drop *despite their total height*, there are interesting discussions on Remotest Hill, Easiest, Most Spectacular View, Most Boring, etc. And as the hills sometimes change height as the Ordnance Survey update their maps, there are regular updates on the book's website... The only possible complaint is that the pictures are taken by Alan himself, and are of the hillwalking enthusiast rather than the coffee table variety - but this is not a book for looking at - it is a book for using up the hills. And in this it works very well indeed.
