This book has been over six years in the writing, during which time I have revisited many areas of the Scottish mountains (and visited some for the first time) and spent many hours in front of the computer screen. My family Denise and Hazel Thorn have been very patient as the book slowly progressed and deserve my deepest thanks for their tolerance and understanding. Jonathan Williams at Cicerone has also been very patient about the time it took for the book to be completed. I also owe much to companions on the hills, of whom there have been many over the years, especially Denise and Hazel, Cameron McNeish, John Manning, Mark Edgington, Kieran Baxter, Chris Ainsworth, Andy Hicks, Graham Huntington and Simon Willis.
