A String Of Mountain Matters <\/p>\n
Subtitled ‚A string of mountain matters‘, Graham Wilson’s new book Over the
\nHill is just that – a thoughtful and witty collection of essays on a whole
\nrange of subjects to do with mountains, from the naming of rock climbs to the
\nOrdnance Survey, from C F Holland to the mountaineer’s responsibility to the
\nenvironment.
\nIt is Graham’s last title for Millrace and contains all the qualities of
\noriginality, wisdom and irreverence which make his earlier books such a good
\nread. <\/p>\n
Enjoy his take on… <\/p>\n
Maps: ‚Nowadays many are old friends, dog-eared with creaking joints and
\nfading notes jotted in the margins, a shadow of their former selves that once
\nrefolded to lie as neat and crisp as a new deck of cards.‘ <\/p>\n
Climbing: ‚I realised that, unlike most activities where you can smudge the
\nedges of success and failure, climbing was different. You were either on or
\nyou were off and there were no nearly or almost.‘ <\/p>\n
The old licensing laws ‚Cometh the hour, so early that any self-respecting
\nwitch would still have been snuggled under the duvet, cometh the bell. Grills
\nwere slammed on grasping fingers, chairs were piled … and the valedictory
\ndrone of the vacuum cleaner bid its sonorous farewell.‘ <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
