The Cairngorm mountains in Scotland are a magnet for climbers and walkers. John Allen spent more than thirty years in the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team saving the lost and injured. This special anniversary edition of his story includes additional photographs and new chapters discussing how mountain rescue has developed over the last decade.

“The twisting mix of sadness and wit are blended together with perfection” MOUNTAIN RESCUE MAGAZINE

`A fascinating account of a man of great humility and remarkable courage.' Annie Brown, The Daily Record

`Makes Touching the Void seem like a pretty routine day on the hill. ‘Iain Macwhirter, The Sunday Herald

`Cairngorm John is a remarkable piece of work: succinct, moving, compassionate, gripping, technically detailed and yet broad enough in its appeal to hold the attention of general audiences'-Rennie MacOwen, The Scots Magazine

`Cairngorm John portrays the human side of mountain rescue, clearly demonstrating the emotional roller coaster that's involved, as well as the camaraderie that exists within teams like Cairngorm Mountain Rescue. I wish every 'do-gooder' who insists on full-time professional mountain rescue teams would read the book and recognise that the main ingredients for a mountain rescuer are commitment, concern and enthusiasm. John Allen has all these in abundance. He also tells a very good story.' Cameron McNeish, TGO Magazine

‘It’s as much about love of the mountains as their dangers.’ LIBBY PURVES©2019 John Allen with Robert Davidson (P)2022 W. F. Howes Ltd Climbing & Mountaineering Outdoors & Nature Sports

Sometimes the narration made me tone out but I do love a Scottish accent. Definitely makes me want to go out and explore Scotland; but not without a proper plan and compass

Key nuggest of wisdom

I've been a Scottish hillwalker for many years. I'm half way through walking all of Scotland’s peaks over 3000 feet and fortunately I have never need to make that dreaded call.
However, after listening to his stories I can see room for improvement in my preparation. I am in awe of all the men and women who risk their lives to rescue others. This book is fascinating and well worth a listen if you have a love for the great outdoors.
I share John's love for the hills and also see the huge risk that a younger, less prepared and appreciative walker now manifest. All Scottish walkers should have a copy of his book.

Respect.
