About passion, love, mystery, human nature… an important addition to the canon of mountaineering literature about Skye.’ The Great Outdoors magazine ‘The depth of research is extensive, yet his writing is so poetic that the pages fly by.’ Rosie Morton, Scottish Field ‘A hillwalker’s paean to the Cuillin blends scenery, folklore and wonder … The Skye Cuillin has obviously captured Simon Ingram’s heart and that fact resounds from every page … [The Black Ridge] will undoubtedly become a classic narrative of this scenically magnificent, legend-rich and geologically unique part of Scotland’ Cameron McNeish, The Herald ‘[Ingram’s] Cuillin journey makes riveting reading … It’s unputdownable’ Maggie Fergusson, Spectator ‘Thrilling’ Guardian ‘Brilliant’ Jamie Collinson, Caught by the River ____ Praise for Between the Sunset and the Sea: "A mountaineering book free of machismo is a rare thing. Not just painstakingly researched, but well written... this is the work of a polymath mountain lover with a backpack sized curiosity. For anyone who has ever found themselves mysteriously possessed by mountains, this is an intrepid, original book that seeks to explain why." Patrick Hosking, THE TIMES ‘Lyrical... a riveting, beguiling and highly personal history of mountains and mountaineering. I’ve been climbing mountains in Britain for 20 years but I don’t know if I really saw them until I read this book.’ Andrew Gilchrist, THE GUARDIAN "Almost Tolkienian in delivery... Between the Sunset and the Sea turns 16 mountain climbs into a form of poetry. History and mythology are given room to breathe alongside landscapes written as fine art, not in broad strokes." BBC COUNTRYFILE "Rich, thought-provoking and lyrical." SCOTLAND OUTDOORS "Very erudite... an enticing picture of the wealth of Britain’s mountain culture. I enjoyed it greatly and will undoubtedly read it again." CHRIS TOWNSEND "A welcome and refreshing addition to the increasingly crowded field of New Nature Writing. Warm, poetic and humane yet shivery with the vertiginous thrill and allure that mountains cast over some of us." STUART MACONIE "Tremendous... passionate, idiosyncratic and thoroughly enjoyable." GEOGRAPHICAL "Accessible and refreshing... written in an engaging style that quickly takes the reader into its confidence. The endearing confession of an authentic mountain addict." COUNTRY WALKING
