 SELECTION OF
REVIEWS:
"Armchair travellers can revel in Chris
Townsend's record-setting trek in the Highlands" Rennie
McOwan Scotland on Sunday Walking Books of the Year 1997
"Well worth reading" Cameron
McNeish
"He describes setting up his tent in high
and wild spots and
communicates the deep pleasure of being at one with nature and at one
with himself. It is then that I take strength and inspiration from his
writing, and vow to switch off the computer, get off my backside and go
to the hills more often. A worthwhile read for aspiring Munro-baggers.
There are 16 pages of fine colour photographs." Martin Moran.
TGO
"I was drawn in by the narrative....Chris
Townsend scores by putting
something of himself into the book. The author effectively puts over
his affinity with wild places.... I warmed to the author. Twenty odd
photos capture well certain moments of the walk." Kevin
Borman High Mountain Sports
"Valuable tips and personal touches that
make it a human story are there in abundance ....I found this book a
great read" John Holms The Scottish Rambler
"His love of the hills and wild places is
evident" John Traynor Outdoor Pursuits
"The detail of the text is just as amazing
as the achievement.
....... At times I was naturally inspired and at other times daunted by
the sheer magnitude of what Chris has not only been able to accomplish
but also write about, while sustaining a lively interest in such a
massive subject. ........ Chris has worked hard (the trick is making it
look easy!) to make his retelling, of what is undoubtedly an epic
journey, very enjoyable and absorbing for all those who love the
hills." Sean McGlennon John Muir Trust Journal
