[Ruth · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read it in stages as just didn’t warrant prolonged reading but enjoyable enough. Odd editing meant suddenly leapt from one walk to another with reminisces in between about other walks, almost as if he had to up his word count in each chapter. For someone who clearly loves the mountains so much and gains so much from them, it was an almost purely factual book, with little emotional response. Felt I knew the author no more at the end of the book than they beginning.
