The second book in a two-volume series describing walking routes up every 2000-footer in Wales - all 166 of them. The result is not just a guide to the mountains of Snowdonia, but a handbook of over 450 routes covering 21 Welsh mountain ranges the whale-backed ridges of the Black Mountains, the Brecon Beacons' precipitous escarpments, the Cwmdeuddwr uplands, Plynlimon's unknown valleys, the heather clad Berwyns, Cader Idris, the vast solitudes of the Arans and Arenigs, the Rhinogs and the wildest land in Wales. For those longer days the author also suggests over 100 high level traverses. This volume covers: the Ffestiniog hills, Fforest Fawr, Glyders, Hirnants, Mynydd Du, Nantlle/Hebog hills, Plynlimon, Radnor Forest, Rhinogs, Siabod/Moelwyns, Snowdon and Tarrens.
Peter was for many years an executive with British Airways but, despite having the whole world as his oyster the lure of the British hills never paled. Once, on a beach in the Seychelles-one of the world's most exotic hideaways-he recalls yearning for the challenge of Crib Goch or Scafell and has a particular affection for the Grand Canyon where he rates the North to South rim traverse as one of the world's great hikes.
'The British hills are the ideal scale', Peter says, 'for day walking. Plenty of time to enjoy a good breakfast, stride the tops, enjoy the views and the bleating of the sheep and be down for a convivial evening. The weather may be trying but no one who has savoured a clear summer's day, the crisp winter air or been privileged to see the clouds part and reveal 'the whole of Wales' after a day of damp swirling mist is ever likely to forget it'.
