This was the NCR and there were mountains to be bagged. Wild Mountain Times by Gary Robertson invites you on a rollicking journey with the Dundee NCR Hillwalking and Mountaineering Club. What began as humble escapes for working-class factory workers has blossomed into a wild adventure among the stunning Scottish hills, often with a wee dram in hand. Take a glimpse into the lives of those who discovered joy and camaraderie amidst nature’s grandeur. From nights spent under the stars to tales spun in remote bothies, laughter echoes through the glen. Yet, it’s not all mirth; the book candidly addresses the perils of the mountains, where accidents and loss are part of the narrative. Join this band of adventurers as they navigate the beauty and danger of the Scottish landscape, celebrating the spirit of friendship and the thrill of the climb. With character’s like Johnny V Diff, The Bonnie Prince and Big Betty, prepare for wild tales, and the occasional wee bothy poyum, that will leave you chuckling and eager to find yourself up the Scottish mountains.
