From High Heels to High Hills by Tanya Oliver Press Release
The latest release from publisher,
Step Beach Press, ‘From High Heels to
High Hills’ tells the real life story of one woman’s passion for the
mountains of the Lake District and how she conquered them - in her own style.
Serial hill walker and shoe fanatic, Tanya Oliver, describes the Lake District
and its communities with love and awe, capturing the beauty and colour with wry honesty and humour. She draws upon her own
extensive experience and passions to give you an insight into climbing
mountains which regular guide books do not – ensuring that your essential
waterproofs extend to mascara.
Written with knowledge, flare
and vivacity, From High Heels to High
Hills combines a substantial understanding of the Lake District with
resilience, determination and a touch of self-deprecation. Each escapade
includes stunning photos that capture the magic of the fells. She recounts the
embarrassing trips, falls and stumbles, false starts and abandoned expeditions,
as well as the triumphs and adventures. This book includes all 214 of
Wainwright’s named fell walks, but this is a journey with a difference.
Including
tips and tells untold of in regular guide books, From High Heels to High Hills Chapter highlights
include:
- What the guide books do not tell
you
- Ridge Walks
- Bogs and Screes (and a wet river
crossing)
- My Favourite Fells
- Escaping the Fells – places to
visit in between
- My Favourite Heels
- Getting Lost!
- Walking With Children and Animals
- Low Walks and Low Fells
- No Such Thing as Bad Weather?
- Divided By a Common Language
- The Wainwright’s and Me
