Some years later in 1977, Nan Shepherd published \u003ci\u003eThe Living Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e, her prose bringing each contour of the Cairngorm mountains to life. These pioneering women set a precedent for a way of writing about wilderness that isn’t about conquering landscapes, reaching higher, harder or faster, but instead about living and breathing alongside them, becoming part of a larger adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artists in this inspired collection continue Gwen and Nan’s legacies, redressing the balance of gender in outdoor adventure literature. Their creativity urges us to stop and engage our senses: the smell of rain-soaked heather, wind resonating through a col, the touch of cool rock against skin, and most importantly a taste of restoring mind, body and spirit to a former equanimity.\u003c\/p\u003eWith contributions from adventurers including \u003ci\u003eAlpinist\u003c\/i\u003e magazine editor Katie Ives, multi-award-winning author Bernadette McDonald, adventurers Sarah Outen and Anna McNuff, renowned filmmaker Jen Randall and many more, \u003ci\u003eWaymaking\u003c\/i\u003e is an inspiring and pivotal work published in an era when wilderness conservation and gender equality are at the fore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31721816490081,"sku":"9781910240755","price":24.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/14702dcb7585037067764493422bd740_35f0b2c0-e235-4eec-a5a3-867698d530a3.jpg?v=1579580463","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781910240755-waymaking","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
