Advantages: A superb introduction to the Emerald Isle's walking possibilities... Disadvantages: ...so long as you've been previously introduced to walking in the first place
feel a sense of intimacy. I had a few coffee table compilation books covering the whole British Isles (and therefore possessing Irish sections), but these were books whose gloriously enticing photos and slightly limited route selections were unfortunately wrapped up in rucksack-unfriendly dimensions. I did also have a casually acquired copy of Paddy Dillon's corkingly idiosyncratic 'The Mountains Of Ireland', with its rubbish diagrams and 'interesting' peak criteria (sod maths, if Paddy liked the look of it it was in). Basically, nothing entirely satisfactory.

A stroke in his mid-sixties limited his direct involvement in the events of the day, but his literary parties continued involving as many young people as those from his own generation.
It is at one of these parties that Harry meets the young reviewer and feature writer Adam Downing, and ropes him in to writing the authorised biography. Harry is dying and wants the project started while he still alive, and will make it known that co-operation is to be given, and only to be given to ...
