High Inspiration

High Inspiration was selected by UKClimbing.com as one of their favourite titles of 2019.

In the summer of 2014 Heather Dawe ran round the route of the Tour de Mont Blanc, the classic mountain tour in the heart of the Alps. Travelling over and through high passes, wide valleys and Alpine towns, this book describes this journey - its challenges, experiences and incredible mountain scenery.

Beautifully illustrated with Dawe's paintings, High Inspiration also explores the drive behind mountain running and racing, and of how simply being in the mountains has inspired climbers, writers, artists and other innovators such as Nan Shepherd, Walter Bonatti, John Gill and Katherine Mansfield.
