WAYMAKING: AN ANTHOLOGY OF WOMENS ADVENTURE (VERTEBRATE)

Gwen Moffat and Nan Shepherd pioneered a way of writing about wilderness which wasn’t about conquest, but about becoming part of a larger adventure. The artists in this inspired collection branch out from Gwen and Nan’s trail, redressing the balance of gender in outdoor adventure literature. Their creativity urges us to stop and engage our senses, to experience the smell of rain-soaked heather, wind resonating through a col, the touch of cool rock against skin, and the restoration of mind, body and spirit to equanimity.
