Stories from Scottish Munro Bagger Normal Neville- Munroist 604

Описание: An interview with Munro Bagger and mountaineer Normal Neville, who has bagged all 282 Scottish Munros as well as The Corbetts and The Donalds and many more Scottish Mountains.

A prolific storyteller, he shares a bit about himself and a lot about experiences collecting Munros... from white-outs to sleeping in a chicken coup! There's hints and tips for new Munro Baggers and stories that will bring seasoned Munro Baggers both palpitations (Skye Ridge incident) and fond memories (Gerry's hostel).

It's one to dip in and out of, covering all kinds of topics from kit to camp cooking, statistics for the round and accommodation do's and don'ts. And there's so many more stories to be found on Normal Neville's website... www.scottishmunros.com.
