External Reviews
'Magnificent, colourful, dramatic. A love letter to Scotland's mountains' - Cameron McNeish.
'A true adventurer at heart, Rowan can take you with him, both metaphorically and physically. His attention to detail in terms of preparation and planning as well as what’s going on all around him helps the reader, live vicariously through his words. The links between the moon, the music, and the alcohol adds a little bit of fun into the mix. However, the one thing that is crystal clear about Rowan is that although an adventurer, he can keep a clear head and knows when the mountain has beaten him. Humble in defeat as well as gracious in accomplishment, this mountain man will not risk his own life or the life of the mountain rescuer team for any selfish ambition. His attention to detail has weaved its way within this book. Rowan's psychological and physical resilience has endured through his lunar nights on the Scottish mountains, well done, a fantastic experiential read.' - Google Review.
