Description: The Munros by Andrew Dempster The mountains provide the spiritual nourishment so essential to a truer understanding of the hills and, ultimately, ourselves.Munro bagging is a headily addictive pursuit, with the holy-grail of compleation the ultimate aim, currently achieved by around 7,000 Munroists.It all began in 1891 when Sir Hugh Munros Tables of 3,000-foot Scottish mountains appeared in The Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal. Since then, this innocent compilation of hills has become a hallowed hit-list.Andrew Dempster traces the meandering course of this cult activity, which has gone from trickle to torrent in the space of a century. From early map-makers to current record-breakers, from the why and the wry to wildness and well-being, The Munros: A History explores the compulsions and philosophies underpinning the Munro phenomenon.
