An exploration of Munro-bagging which looks at the life of the man behind the famous tables, and attempts to explain why for thousands of people his list has assumed such importance. The heart of the book is not the Munros but the relationship between the mountains and the people who climb them.
This is not another guide-book. Instead it is an exploration of what is now a cult pursuit - Munro-bagging. It looks at the life of the man behind the famous tables and attempts to explain why for thousands of people his list has assumed an importance out of all proportion to its humble beginnings. The heart of the book is not the Munros but the relationship between the mountains and the people who climb them - the ordinary hillwalkers as well as the pioneers and record-breakers. This book should be of interest to anyone working their way through Munro's list, for the seasoned veterans who have accomplished their quest and even those armchair Munro-baggers who have no intention of slogging their way up a 3,000-foot peak but nevertheless have a genuine interest in this sport.
