The Middle-Aged Mountaineer

This book recounts Curran`s journey from the Shetlands to the coast of Cornwall, climbing routes he had never attempted on his bicycle. Cycling through some of the wettest weather Britain could throw at him made his journey tougher than many of his Himalayan expeditions. Jim`s approach is as self-deprecating and quirky as ever and the result is a wonderful book which has been shortlisted for the Boardman Tasker Award 2001.
