After a blustery afternoon up on the Great Orme, near Llandudno I finished the book I've been reading during recent travels. It's called 'The Wild Within' by Simon Yates. He's a pretty understated guy, who has done some pretty cool expeditions to some amazing places. It's kind of a diary/biography of the last ten years or so, during which he has been leading expeditions and climbing mountains all over the world. He's just been quietly getting on with expedition after expedition and amassed all sorts of experiences, mostly involving remote snowy mountains. Inspirational stuff. There is also some interesting debate in it about taking a sat phone or emergency cell phone on remote adventures. Is it really a proper adventure if you know you can just call for help?... Felt like being back in Philosophy Class at University...
