Hamish's Mountain Walk
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.
