Sobre aquest llibre
This is the story of the adventures of Stobcross Gentlemen's Climbing Club. Against all the odds thrown up by the Scottish weather, faulty map reading and the symptoms of physical decline, they strove to maintain the fine traditions of Scottish mountaineering. They battled through their Munros and Corbetts whilst valiantly trying to celebrate Burns' Night, Guy Fawkes Night and Hogmanay in a ritual calendar of the Scottish Hills. Alongside these adventures are explorations of a different kind – ones into the history of the bothies and the mountains that make up the present day landscape, as well as the stories of those who have vacated the bens and glens within living memory. Based on Ian Mitchell's research and experiences, Mountain Footfalls adds a new dimension to hillwalkers' appreciation and enjoyment of the Scottish Highlands.

Sobre l'autor
Ian R. Mitchell was born in Aberdeen but he’s spent most of the last three decades wandering through mountains. He began walking and climbing in the Cairngorms in the 1960s, and he’s since built up considerable knowledge of the Scottish Highlands and also further afield—the Alps, the Pyrenees and Norway. He now lives in Glasgow and is the author of several award-winning walking books. In 1991 he was jointly awarded the Boardman-Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature. He was also awarded the Outdoor Writers Guild Award for Excellence for his book Scotland's Mountains Before the Mountaineers.
