About This Item
Newton Abbot: David & Charles, 1970. First edition. Illustrated with 26 photographic plates and 3 sketches. 8vo, original orange cloth, lettered on the spine in gilt, in the publisher's dustjacket. 173 pp. A fine copy. FIRST EDITION OF THIS DELIGHTFULLY READABLE BOOK. The activities of a climber in south-east England must inevitably be varied and imaginative as a result of the lack of mountains. In addition to the climbs on the Wealden sandstone outcrops, the author describes extensive walking on hiil ridges such as the North and South Downs, coasteering on the chalk sea cliffs of Sussex and Kent and caving in man-made holes and tunnels. He also includes the exciting possibilities of the disused mine or quarry, caves, sea rocks, statues, buildings, bridges, walls, kilns, etc - all within 80 miles of London.
