Title: Mountain: Exploring Britains High Places
Description: "With names like Snowdon, Ben Nevis or Scafell Pike, Britain's high places are at once romantic and rooted in the nation's sense of identity. In this book accompanying the BBC series, Griff Rhys Jones brings their stories to life." "Travelling the length of the UK, Griff explores some of the roughest and most arduous landscapes. While he experiences the flora, fauna, landscapes and seasonal shifts, Griff meets the undiscovered mountain communities and the real people who inhabit Britain's highlands: shepherds, mountain-rescue teams, scientists, farmers and artists. He also brings to life the history of epic battles, communities long gone and struggles for survival."--BOOK JACKET.
