Mont Blanc, or 'Il Bianco' as it is sometimes known as in Italy; The White One. It sits, regally, upon pleated glacial folds gathered together around a timeless, grey-rock body, high above the French town of Chamonix, lord of all that it surveys. It beguiles, bewitches and charms the lesser folk who seek to frolic and play amongst the buttressed foothills of its ancient frame. In a muddy field somewhere in Cornwall on New Year's Day, two men make a pact to tackle Europe's highest mountain. Call it a mid-life crisis, with not only his daughter about to leave for university but also the rapidly approaching prospect of his fiftieth birthday to consider: walking 170 kilometres across a mountain range seems the perfect antidote. Humorous, reflective and poignant, this is the story of a journey around one of the world's most iconic mountains, through an area that is full to bursting with stories to remember. AUTHOR: David Le Vay is a child therapist and a senior lecturer at Roehampton University, a jazz pianist in a band that gigs regularly around SW London and a keen cricket player. SELLING POINTS Ideal for anyone who has walked the Tour du Mont Blanc themselves or who is considering a long-distance walk; this kind of adventure is possible for anyone. A humorous and insightful follow-up to The Hairy Hikers ISBN: 9781849532372
