Full Description
Climbing your first mountain might feel like a daunting challenge, but with this book you can make it happen. Perhaps all you've managed so far is a walk to the park or a bimble around the local countryside but now have aspirations to go further and higher. Maybe you're a parent wanting to take the family on a weekend adventure; or you've signed up for a charity challenge to climb Ben Nevis, or Kilimanjaro, or to Everest Base Camp! If you've been put off heading into the hills for fear of getting lost, or not knowing what to take with you, or because you're not sure where to go or simply don't know where to start, this book is your answer.
