This is a sumptuous celebration of the mountains of Wales. Scaling verbal & visual heights, it combines pithy writing & striking photography as ten well-known authors explore & explain the appeal of their favourite Welsh hill or peak. Some of these are well established landmarks on the tourist & mountaineering maps of Wales, others are more remote & private. Some are dramatic, brooding presences, dominating their landscape. Others are more unassuming. But, north or south, east or west, each is a place in the heart as much as a geographical feature. Ray Wood is world-renowned as a mountaineering photographer & his images give this collection its stunning visual integrity & impact. Complementing the authors revelations, the photography allows us to climb each mountain without safety harness & crampon, without fear of vertigo leaving us with a breathtaking, not a breathless, experience.
