A Distillation of Hills

70 years of achievements and failures. This book is based on the author's experiences covering over seventy years of walking and climbing, but it is far more than a mere record. Within its pages you will find joy and sadness, triumph and tragedy recounted against a background of family life with its necessary restraints. It is neither an autobiography nor a travelogue, but you will find here the essence of an enquiring spirit condensed from a lifetime of contemplating what mountains mean to the human condition. Youthful misdemeanours, accidents and mature aspirations (not all were successful) are recounted with equal candour.
