Peak Beyond Peak (9781838080075) - Taproot Press UK

On September 14 2022, the voice of one of Scotland's most remarkable figures returns to the page.   While better known for her solo journeys across the Arctic, these essays detail the Scottish journeys of Isobel Wylie Hutchison over a period of 50 years. Written with characteristic wit and a keen interest in science, myth and folklore, the essays serve as important cultural markers not just of Scotland as it was and has developed, but of Hutchison's development as a person and writer, and a testament to the importance of cultural connection, exploration and communication.

Blairgowrie Hillwalking ClubApr 23

Club members walked from Glen Isla over the #Monega path to #Munro Glas Maol last Sunday (19th April). A mostly sunny day but still with a bitterly cold westerly wind (windchill well below 0C).
Still extensive snow patches, especially on the west and north flanks of Glas Maol.
Coach awaited us at the #Glenshee ski centre (use of the coach makes these through walks possible).
