About me Love books but need more time to read them. Like taking photographs. Have walked, cycled and climbed mainly in Scotland for years. In Summer 2005 I left Perthshire and moved to the NW Highlands of Scotland. Trying to find the time to get out more in the hills I have been distracted by the chance to kayak and putter around in small boats. Of course, here, getting into the car often needs full Goretex covering but no matter what the weather this place is close to Heaven.
About my library Why is putting books on here so captivating? I have the habit of a Victorian for collecting.

I notice that we have a larger than average number of shared titles on our shelves, we clearly have similar interests in all things to do with mountains, into my sixties now so while I do a lot of hill climbing and walking from my hom in north east England it has been some time since I tied on to a rope. I try to add to my collection of mountaineering books by regular surveys of second hand bookshops my best ever find was a first edition 1958 copy of Rock Climbing in Britain by J. E. B. Wright and what a bargain for 10p! I hail from Kilmarnock so enjoy a natural affinity with all low prices! I have rekindled my interest in long distance walking if you have nothing better to do you can see at Flickr.
