In a lifetime of roaming the Scottish mountains, Alex Thomson has always taken the time to stop and chat, meeting many different kinds of people, forming lasting friendships and sharing countless stories with his fellow hillwalkers.
Collected here together are some of those tales.
Stories that formed the fabric of the walking clubs that appeared throughout the 1950's and 60's. Sometimes serious, occasionally scary, often amusing, they offer a wonderful glimpse into the hillwalking fraternity, the myriad gems of the Scottish landscape and the addictive pleasure of exploration. |
