After an initial visit of three months to the Atlas Mountains in 1965,
well-known travel writer, climber and photographer Hamish rown has been
back every year since, continuing his love affair with a beautiful
country and people. In his own words, 'I had put feet to my dream and
this book is the story of that dream, the end-to-end trek of the Atlas
Mountains, a 900-mile walk in 96 days, which I want to share before
everything recedes like a tide in the flat waters of memory'. Hamish
recounts the rich culture and proud history of the Berber peoples of the
Atlas in this richly-satisfying and fascinating travelogue, which is
complemented by a selection of stunning photographs of landscape,
people, buildings and plant life.
