Received this as a gift from a friend at college when we both graduated from an outdoor adventure program. This quickly became my constant companion through the Highlands of Scotland, getting stuck in traffic in Glasgow, and out to Lewis and Harris. Always a great pick me up, and guaranteed for some good out loud laughter.

I started reading this book sort of as a review to see if I am as smart as I remember being in college...so far, so good:o)

Great to dip in and out of. Lots of easy to remember pieces of information, nicely presented.
