Description
Alan Rowan's Moonwalker Adventures of a Midnight Mountaineer is a unique blend of memoir, comedy, and adventure. After a long night shift, Rowan would sneak out to climb Scotland's highest peaks, witnessing the sunrise from the summit and returning home just in time for breakfast. This book is a fascinating account of his transformation from desk jockey to midnight mountaineer, filled with stories of the people and places he encountered along the way. From dodgy car salesmen to superstitious Germans, Rowan's encounters are as entertaining as they are insightful. With his unorthodox approach to climbing, he offers a fresh perspective on Scotland's magnificent mountains. Part guide to the Munros, part personal story, Moonwalker Adventures is a captivating read that will appeal to anyone interested in adventure, nature, and the human spirit. With its blend of humor, humility, and determination, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves the great outdoors.
