A humorous book of over 4 decades of fell walking and hiking with some crazy people.
Meet Barney, who has the worst veritigo ever. Why do I take to Austria? Meet Tommy, with acute bowel problems, especially in a cable car, halfway up a high mountain. Meet my Aunt Marjorie, who started me hiking at the age of seven. And Frank, who, in Mallorca, kept his hotel wardrobe door from opening with a brandy bottle, until he'd drank it all, then it didn't matter. The worst thing about Iceland, in 1984, alcoholic drinks were banned, so Gerald stuffed his rucksac full of them. He was our best mate in the wilderness. Meet another Frank, who was a legend for being sick in the the wrong places. Get above the clouds in Madeira, where water runs up hills, and we are attacked by an army of child beggers, trying to sell us wild flowers wrapped in Cellotape. The hills arfe alive with the sound of swearing and cursing. I only hilke with interesting people.
