Description
This is the third book in the Highland Journal series. Join Jack as he ranges across the Highlands and Islands, exploring the lonely moors and rugged peaks of Sutherland, the Rough Bounds, the Great Wilderness, Mull and Harris; remote places that would challenge the resolve and stamina of any hillwalker.
In Book 1, the author got to the top of his first Munro and began his quest to climb all of them. In Beyond the Last Munro he reaches the final one and reflects on his achievement. For those with an interest in climbing these mountains, the books contain a route and relief map for each, as well as a clear index of all the Munros. Some of the chapters record days of high adventure, such as the crossing of the Carn Mor Dearg Arete but there are gentler days on Jack's 'Hills of Home' in Angus, Wester Ross and Assynt; days when the focus is on the author's passion for the rocks, plant life and wild creatures of the Highlands.
The book has the colourful cast of characters readers have come to expect and there are many laughs along the way. A must-have for all lovers of wild places and a book to be treasured.
About the Author
Jack Harland is a retired Aberdeen Head Teacher. He enjoys writing, drawing, painting and making maps, finding inspiration in his beloved Highlands. It is never long before he is off "roaming the hills" again and he climbed his final Munro in 2015. His first two books in the Highland Journal series have been a great success and led to an approach from the Press and Journal to write regular features on mountain walks.
