To climb steep hills

Requires slow pace at first.

Shakespeare

Regions mountainous and wild, thinly inhabited, and little cultivated,

make a great part of earth, and he that has never seen them,

must live unacquainted with much of the face of nature,

and with one of the great scenes of human existence.

Dr Johnson

For Bebs

Acknowledgements

My wife, Beryl Castle, has always over the years given freely of her advice, support and encouragement during the planning, research and writing of my guidebooks, and for this book there was no exception. For this I am ever grateful. Beryl has also helped in the preparation of the sketch maps and height profiles for this guidebook. Thanks are also due to Jeff and Enid Wilson-Parr, who accompanied me on my second Tour of the Queyras, and made some useful additional notes.

In addition, I thank Jonathan Williams and the team at Cicerone for their professionalism in publishing this and my other guidebooks.
