A Walk in the Clouds : 75 short stories of adventures among the mountains of the world

Alpine expert Kev Reynolds has spent fifty years exploring mountain landscapes and thirty writing about his experiences. Here he shares some of the high points of a full life as a wanderer and writer. As the leading international authority on many mountain ranges, including the Pyrenees, numerous regions of the Alps and the Nepal Himalaya, Kev has inspired thousands of trekkers through his guidebooks and regularly evokes the mood and majesty of the mountains to spellbound audiences as a lecturer.

In this book Kev tells how he set off, aged 21, to explore the Atlas Mountains of Morocco - and never looked back. He abandoned his desk-bound local government job to pursue a life in the mountains, living and working in Britain, Austria and Switzerland before finding his true métier as a writer.

These 75 stories capture the joy he has taken in exploring the Atlas Mountains, Pyrenees, Alps, Himalaya and 'Other Wild Places' again and again, meeting the local people and the mountain guides, experiencing the local food, faiths and lifestyle and watching the sun rise and set against some of the world's highest peaks from summit bivvies.
