This book begins with a thought-provoking article now reprinted, criticising the increasing influence of politically-correct organisations and politicians who desire to control freewill and mountaineering. Then comes a chapter with a critique of several writers on the Cairngorms in comparison with the original Seton Gordon. After the author published a review in 1977 on 'The wildlife potential of the Cairngorms region', he came under unwarranted attack by two influential private landowners who misrepresented what he wrote and even included a threat. A wider public should be aware of this. There follows an essay on biologist Professor Vero C. Wynne-Edwards, and another on the history of the research station near Banchory, established for studying at first red grouse and then ecological problems of mountain, moorland, woodland and fresh-water. The last chapter - the most important one and occupying a third of the book - gives the author's lifetime view of the value of lone trips in climbing, ski-mountaineering and mountain-craft. | Essays on lone trips mountain-craft and other hill topics by Adam Watson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
