'Proof that epic adventures are open to everyone, even if you've got a
day job.' Alastair Humphreys
Nicknamed 'Mountain Man' by the Sunday Telegraph, James Forrest is the
record-breaking adventurer who climbed every mountain in England and
Wales in just six months - the fastest ever time. Solo and unsupported,
he walked over 1,000 miles and ascended five times the height of Everest
during his 446-peak challenge. And he did it all on his days off from
work, proving it is possible to integrate an epic adventure into your
everyday life.
From collapsing tents and horrific storms to near-fatal mountaineering
mishaps, James endured his fair share of hardship out in the hills. But
the good times far outweighed the bad. He slept wild under the stars,
met eccentric locals, and exchanged the 21st century social media bubble
for a simpler, more peaceful existence. What did he learn along the way?
That life is more fulfilling when you switch off your phone and climb a
mountain.
Chosen by The Great Outdoors magazine as their book of the year, all
readers will be inspired and motivated by James's amazing adventure, and
the book concludes with a section on how YOU can achieve your next
adventure. Whether it's something to get the kids involved in at half
term, a fun challenge to tackle solo or with friends, or a
record-breaking attempt of epic proportions, James will guide you
through everything you need to do to plan and execute your adventure.
This paperback edition also features a Foreword by adventurer and writer
Anna McNuff.
