Hamish's Mountain Walk by Hamish M Brown
Hamish Brown was the first walker and climber to complete the Munros in a single round. By his own rules, he did it self-powered except where ferries were required and with the aid of his trusty, fold-away bike. The year was 1974 and the roads of Scotland carried only a fraction of the traffic they do today, wind farms were unheard of and crofting remained a vibrant element of rural livelihoods. This will be a book that every lover of the Scottish hills - and anyone who has been touched by the spirit of the outdoors - will want to read and reread.
Hamish Brown is a mountaineer, lecturer, photographer and poet who has written or edited a score of books. Born in Colombo, early travels took him to Ireland, Japan and Malaya. He pioneered outdoor education at Braehead School in Fife, later becoming the County Advisor in Outdoor Education. Breaking bounds he set off in 1974 on the challenge of climbing the Munros in a single effort which led to the classic Hamish's Mountain Walk, which covers not only a remarkable feat but delves deeply into every aspect of the country he loves.
