Author Description

After selecting 16 peaks which are among Britainâ€s wildest and emptiest places, Ingram devoted more than a year to exploring them. Here he records what happened on his expedition, following a circuitous route from Beinn Dearg to Ben Nevis via the Brecon Beacons, Pennines and Lake District. As well as discussing the practicalities of the climbs, he describes each mountainâ€s unique atmosphere and delves into its history and folklore. Slightly off-mint.
