The Essential Hillwalker's Guide by Kevin Walker
This guide for walkers and climbers encompasses all the skills and knowledge needed for safe and enjoyable expeditions and offers advise on preparation, footwear, camping equipment, food and details of navigation skills. It also sets out the situations that lend hillwalking its specially challenging status such as benightment, stonefall and getting lost with suggestions on what to do in the event. Included is a full guide to first aid that covers everything from limb injury to mountain hypothermia.
Peter Steele, mountaineer, skier and Yukon doctor, followed his ebullient hero around Europe and into the still remote barren lands that he put on the map. Author of the Medical Handbook for Walkers and Climbers, he also wrote Eric Shipton: Everest and Beyond, a life of the mountain explorer, which won the 1998 Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature.
