| book description |
Foreword by Boardman Tasker prize-winning author Helen Mort. In Extreme Horizons, leading outdoor writer David Pickford takes us on an extraordinary journey of discovery through climbing, adventure motorcycling, wilderness travel, and nautical expeditions in some of the wildest places in Britain and across the world. From first ascents of cutting-edge climbs to a series of pioneering and unusual sea voyages, and from the dust of the road less travelled to the secret summits of remote mountain ranges, this is the remarkable story of a lifetime's quest for uncharted terrain. What do we learn from encounters with wild and hostile environments? The experience of physical risk, the relationship between uncertainty and choice, the deep psychology of exploration, and the moral value of adventure and fellowship are central themes of this fascinating and far-reaching book. Extreme Horizons is a veritable treasure trove of stories, insights and perspectives for die-hard adventurers and casual enthusiasts alike, and essential reading for the committed armchair explorer at the same time. As a fully illustrated edition, this book is a collector's item for any outdoor enthusiast's bookshelf.
