Author Bio RALPH STORER is an experienced and respected hillwalker who has hiked and backpacked extensively around the world. Despite being a Sassenach by birth, he has lived in Scotland since studying psychology at Dundee University and has a great affinity for the Highlands, where he can be seen in all weathers roaming the glens and tramping the tops. As well as disappearing into the hills for a regular fix of nature, he also writes novels and sexological non-fiction, and produces dark-wave music on his home computer.
Back Cover Copy Meet Baffies - the Entertainments Convenor of the Go-Take-A-Hike Mountaineering Club.

You'll find no easier way to climb Munros than to follow in his footsteps.
