<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In the 21st century we are losing our connection with the wild, a connection that may never be regained. The Last Hillwalker by bestselling author John D. Burns is a personal story of falling in and out of love with the hills. More than that, it is about rediscovering a deeply felt need in all of us to connect with wild places.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>From somewhere out in the vast whiteness of the blizzard we hear a cry for help. Instinctively the three of us turn and head across the mountainside. We find two men and a woman, huddled together in the snow, unable to descend the steep icy slope between them and safety.</p><p>The woman asks if we are experienced in conditions like this. My friends and I have tackled a few winter hills in the Lake District and bumbled up easy rock climbs, but we have never been in a full Scottish winter snowstorm. I laugh and assure her that this is nothing to mountaineers like us.</p><p>Soon our hills will be empty and one day the last hillwalker will disappear over the horizon. In the 21st century we are losing our connection with the wild, a connection that may never be regained.</p><p><strong><em>The Last Hillwalker</em></strong> by bestselling author <strong>John D.

Well structured, starting with a white-knuckle epic on an icebound Ben Nevis to very effectively hook the reader in, leading into a well-organised read.' (Neil Reid, Mountaineering Scotland); 'Captures the essence of what it means to love mountains and love being in mountains.' (Chris Townsend, TGO magazine)</p><br>
