Product Description

Review

'If you buy any one mountain book this year, make sure it is this one.' Kevin Borman, High Mountain magazine 'One of Scotland's most distinguished mountain writers.' THE GREAT OUTDOORS MAGAZINE 'Written... with obvious expertise, knowledge and love of [the] subject' SCOTS INDEPENDENT 'He knows his mountains and his history and that awareness informs almost every page.' SCOTS MAGAZINE

Product Description

Fed up of anaemic books about mountains, about being poor and happy and mystical fulfilment? Then this is the book for you, tearing the veil from the culture clashes and conflicts on the hills. What happens if you go in search of the American Dream in Colorado, or Celtic Twilight in the Cuillins? And how do the mountains alter the pattern of male/female sexual behaviour? This book presents a different approach, but one that aims to answer just why the mountains exert such fascination over so many people.

Brilliant 'sequel' to Mountain Days and Bothy Nights 17 Mar 2010

By Martin

Format:Paperback

Having read Mitchell and Brown's epic Mountain Days and Bothy Nights a good few years back (the book that first introduced me to mountaineering and bothying), I bought this as soon as I saw it, along with another one of Ian Mitchell's books. I wasn't disappointed and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in roaming the scottish highlands.
