Hamish's Mountain Walk

Have just finished reading Hamish's Mountain Walk - for the second time.  


It is the story of Hamish Brown completing the first continuous ascent of all the Munros.  


I read it soon after it was published back in the late 1970s, but this time around I could picture most of the hills as he described them.  


It's a great read, highly recommended.  


Hamish has a very easy style, maintaining interest with many anecdotes along the way, as he battles with all the vagaries of the Scottish climate!  


Obviously, I don't have nearly the depth of experience that Hamish Brown has, but I can relate to his enjoyment of the hills, of being alone in the hills, and I love the way he naturally expresses his faith throughout the story.  


If you haven't read it, get a copy.
