Description
In the Shadow of Ben Nevis tells the story of Ian Sykes' remarkable journey from his childhood in Leeds after World War II to his time with the RAF during the Cold War. As a keen climber, he joined the remote RAF Kinloss Mountain Rescue Team in Scotland and became involved in some of the most legendary call-outs in Scottish mountain rescue history. Sykes recounts his adventures and mishaps with immediacy and charm, from his early days as a member of the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team to his later exploits on Ben Nevis and Antarctica. With a foreword by Hamish MacInnes, this book is a fascinating account of Sykes' life and experiences in the world of mountaineering and mountain rescue. With its lively tales and behind-the-scenes insights into the development of the Nevis Range ski area, In the Shadow of Ben Nevis offers a unique perspective on Scottish mountaineering and adventure.
