{"product_id":"9781906148966","title":"Climbing Down: Long distance walks in the Scottish, Welsh and English hills in manageable chunks","description":"Graham Wilson's Climbing Down, selected as a Travel Book of the Week in The Guardian, features long distance walks in the Scottish, Welsh and English hills — but in manageable chunks. Wilson makes an entertaining companion; once he was fit enough for the Bob Graham Round, now he's the victim of a crumbling hip. So, he breaks the walks into sections and, instead of calling on a shuttle-service of friends with cars, takes to public transport. The walks include an Alternative Snowdon Horseshoe, a Scottish Coast to Coast and the Yorkshire Centurion, as well as several Peak District rounds. And a new, gentler activity is proposed for the compulsive list-ticker: island-bagging. Wilson's experiences are recounted in his own inimitable style, with the usual eccentric digressions into topi such as coffin roads and cut-hopping, Munros and mobile phones, solo climbing and slippered pigs. Wonderfully illustrated with drawings by Gerry Dale.","brand":"Vertebrate Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183514927344,"sku":"9781906148966","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781906148966_p0.jpg?v=1763616738","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781906148966","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
