If like a book about rock climbing in Scotland and sentences such as: “If Ben Nevis was a boy I would have tackled him and pulled his trousers down” then this is the book for you.
Gutted this book is out of print. Such an inspiring, informative, funny and entertaining book about Munros. Published in 1993 it takes me back to the days of shell suits, terrestrial telly and tupperware parties. Also quite poignant reading it now and thinking just how far we've come in terms of women taking to the hills. If only there were more light hearted book about hills like this.
thanks rhona for lending me the first read of this year which frankly took me way too long to start. i've never climbed a munro but this book actually made me want to do so which is quite an achievement. muriel gray is a very entertaining writer so i really enjoyed reading this even though i had no idea how to pronounce any of the hill names. (seriously. gaelic is insane. the only one i knew was schiehallion.)
A laugh out loud book
I loved this book, Muriel Gray clearly knows and loves her hills. Informative, humorous and very entertaining read.
A funny observation that all Munroist's will recognise
Really enjoyable.
loved Muriels hill stories, her love of the hills comes across well, and this book really made me laugh
A great and funny book about hill-walking. Companion to the TV series "The Munro Show" - if only that could be repeated on a satellite channel.
Muriel is at times both funny and dead serious.There are times she is almost like AW in her comments about the Hills and the use and abuse of them. Once I had finished the book I revisited my Munro show DVD. More books on the Hills like this please Muriel!
Muriel Gray is an absolute scream as she doggedly proceeds to climb munros (mountains over 3,000 feet in Scotland), although she hasn't got a beard.
Hilarious. Helped me be in the hills though trapped in lockdown.
Witty and irreverent, you won't learn how to climb mountains, but you will learn how much fun it can be!
