This masterpiece is even better with repeat reading.
It really helps that I know the Cairngorms so much better than before, so I can relate to Nan’s words even more closely.

milkb0at stopped reading Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest
Insufferable. Tried reading it a few times, and now it’s sat unread for months, so I’ll give it up as a bad job.
milkb0at finished reading Fabric by Victoria Finlay

milkb0at finished reading Norway the Outdoor Paradise by James Baxter
Probably only worth reading if you’re an avid skier or kayaker wanting details of routes in Norway.
To me, it’s a massive, overly dense collection of holiday photos and diary entries. An editor could cut about 80% of it to create something slightly more interesting.
