First published in 1939, Always a Little Further quickly established itself as a Scottish climbing classic. In portraying a group of rank-&-file climbers from Glasgow who sought merely to enjoy the freedom of the mountains & the fellowship of shared experience, it presents a very different view of mountaineering than is found in many more `serious` books on the subject. From early beginnings in Arrochar & on Skye the group graduate to bigger things around Glencoe & Ben Nevis. The climbing merely provides the background to the story & it is the travelling, the characters & the colourful life of road, campsite & bothy that form the main focus of attention. There are stories about motor-cyclists, hitch-hikers, berry-pickers, bird-watchers & `gangrels of all sorts`. The bizarre characters & events are entertainingly described & a `rollicking humour` runs through the narrative. These are light-hearted tales, filled with the enthusiasm of carefree youth & displaying a genuine love of the Scottish hills. For this reason Always a Little Further is rightly regarded as a classic reflecting an aspect of mountaineering life hardly touched in other accounts. ...

Anne Watts grew up in a small village in north Wales in the 1940s. Inspired by school geography lessons that told of far-off lands, she broke out of the conventional options open to women in post-war Britain, defying her Merchant Navy father`s dated views. She trained as a nurse & midwife, joined the Save the Children Fund, & was posted to Vietnam in 1967. One of only three British nurses in the region, Anne was faced with a vision of hell that her training at Manchester`s Royal Infirmary had barely prepared her for. Thrown in at the deep end, she witnessed the random cruelty of warfare, nursing injured & orphaned children & caring for wounded & dying servicemen. She went on to take her skills to the victims of Pol Pot`s Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, to Lebanon during the Israeli occupation, & Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm. Over some forty-five years Anne has brought her courage & compassion to those most in need of help. Woven into this vivid, compelling memoir is perhaps the most moving story of all
- how Anne`s idyllic childhood was shattered by a shocking family tragedy when she was 10 years old. A tragedy that was to shape her destiny.
