Description
Where the Wild Winds Are Walking Europe's Winds from the Pennines to Provence
Nick Hunt sets off on an unlikely quest: to follow four of Europe's winds across the continent. His journey begins on Cross Fell, the highest point of the Pennines, as he chases the roaring Helm - the only named wind in Britain.
Through rain, blizzards, and howling gales, Hunt navigates exhilarating landscapes and encounters a cast of characters who inhabit them, from meteorologists to mountain men. Along the way, he uncovers myths, legends, history, and science, as well as remote cabins packed with pickles and homemade alcohol.
