Our Products:
MILLICAN DALTON: A Search for Romance & Freedom - £8.99
Millican Dalton's eccentric existance during the first half of the 20th century is often mistaken as a grand parody. However, he really did exist and his amazing life as the modern-day Caveman of Borrowdale and self-styled Professor of Adventure is well chronicled in this established mountaineering biography.
SCRATCH & Co. The Great Cat Expedition - £11.99
Molly Lefebure's Scratch & Co., illustrated by A. Wainwright, is a witty send-up of a mountaineering book - complete with "Alpine Club" type characters, hair-breadth rescues and all the tensions and pompous tones of a Himalayan expedition. Join Scratch & Co. on their assault of the H.K.P. - a clearly undisguised Scafell Pike. Suitable for readers from eight to eighty.
HIGH HAZARD: Where Mountaineers are Made - £5.00
Stanley Watson's 1935 movie High Hazard was Britain's first complete record of rock climbing. Although faced with scepticism and indifference, he created a picture that professional moviemen were forced to accept. Watson's groundbreaking filming techniques set the standard for which all subsequent mountaineering films had to follow.
LAST OF THE BORROWDALE HERMITS - £TBC - OUT SPRING 2010
Not long ago you couldn't find a book on Millican Dalton. Now there are two! There is no repetition here though. This all new book is chock-a-block full of previously unpublished photos, which weave an entertaining path through the life of a Lake District legend.
