The Scottish peaks: A pictorial guide to walking in… by W. A Poucher
Bought for a walking holiday in Scotland in the '70s, this guide was an indispensible companion on a life affirming adventure.
This, and others by Poucher, were indispensible guides in their day. This copy has been carried up (and has guided me up) many of the mountains in Wales, most of them several times. It is now water stained with pages loose and stuck together, but, by golly, what memories we share! Poucher showed the way to write guides to all who came after (and I include Wainwright in that group).
