About the Author

Ronald Turnbull is seen here in the eye of the Argyll Needle, just below the summit of the Cobbler. Among his experiences in the Lomond and Trossachs he includes a bivvy-bag night at the summit of Ben Ledi when he woke up covered in sleet, and a crossing of all eight of the Luss Hills in one November day. Researching this book he has enjoyed in particular revisiting those intricate Crianlarich Hills, and the area's two big views, from Ben A'an and from the Dumpling (alias Duncryne).

He has won awards for his writing – the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild Award for excellence nine times, in four different categories; and also for his walking – the Fell Running Association's Long-distance Trophy for a journey over all the 2000ft hills of southern Scotland. He is based in Dumfriesshire.
