Critic Reviews
written by someone who actually knows what hikers/trekkers/walkers need from a guide. The enthusiasm is palpable
The book is motivational as well as instructive......If you are a walker who wants great, unfussy, beautiful and inspiring info and insight from people who clearly love the mountains and know what they are talking about, then this is the guide for you.
This is how walking books should be made!
