Walking it ThroughAn asthmatic’s walking diary
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

What do you do when you were the shy, bullied asthmatic who was always last to be picked during team selection at school?
Give up and accept you’ll never be good at sport?
Not Stephen Smith. As a young man he donned walking boots and set off on an adventure to climb The Munros – the 282 highest mountains in Scotland. Having completed that he hoped to settle down. But unable to 'find the one', he set himself a new challenge – to complete all the 1432 mountains of the British Isles. After twenty years of walking, and achieving 960 of the mountains, he met 'the one'. Then another life changing event led to him work through his obsessive workaholic nature and retire his walking ambitions.
In this second volume of Stephen's hill-walking diaries you can follow his adventures from New Zealand's Milford Track and Australia's Wilsons Prom, to walking all the Welsh and English Nuttalls, the Scottish Donalds, half the Corbetts and seven coast to coast adventures across Scotland on the TGO Challenge.
From 111 miles in five days catching up after a stomach bug to the sweltering heat of the Australian bush, Stephen recounts his walks, his life and his loves.
'Stephen has a quirk to his style of narration with little anecdotes in among the description of place and adventure or misadventure that makes this easy to read and enjoy.' Debz Hobbs-Wyatt, Winner of the Bath Short Story Award 2013.
