Читать книгу Abode of the Gods - Kev Reynolds - Страница 3

I felt I could go on like this for ever, that life had little better to offer than to march day after day in an unknown country to an unattainable goal.

HW Tilman, Two Mountains and a River (1949)

There are many ways to enjoy mountains: some persons engage their passion by cutting steps in impossible ice walls, others entrust their lives to one fragile piton in a rocky crevice, and still others, I among them, prefer simply to roam the high country.’

George B Schaller, Stones of Silence (1988)

About the Author

Kev Reynolds has spent over 50 years walking, climbing and trekking in some of the world’s greatest mountain ranges. In that time he has written over 40 guidebooks describing adventurous routes among the Alps, Pyrenees and high Himalayan regions of Nepal, which have inspired many thousands of others to follow in his footsteps. He was the contributing editor to Cicerone’s Trekking in the Himalaya, published in 2013, a lavishly illustrated guide to 20 major treks, extending from Nanga Parbat in the extreme west to Bhutan in the far east. In the same year Cicerone published his memoir A Walk in the Clouds – a compilation of short stories harvested from Kev’s wide-ranging mountain experiences.

When he’s not away on trek or describing his journeys in books and magazines, he can be found travelling throughout the British Isles, evoking the mood and magic of the mountain world through his lectures. A member of the Alpine Club and Austrian Alpine Club, and an Honorary Life Member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild, Kev lives in rural contentment with his wife in view of what he calls ‘the Kentish Alps’.
