Review of The Backpacker's Handbook Fourth Edition
I'm pleased to say that the first review I've seen of the fourth edition of The Backpacker's Handbook has appeared on MyOutdoors.co.uk and the reviewer likes my book. Thanks!
Hi Chris, The Backpacker's Hand Book looks very good - you can view some off the content and all of the index on Amazon. I notice it is published in the USA, does that mean american spellings of common words will be used ?
Yes, American spellings it is. Most of the sales are in the USA. I change the language in Word to American English when working on it so I don't spell color with a u by mistake.

'A Year In The Life Of The Cairngorms' is hidden somewhere in our house and I'm being made to wait until Christmas morning (strict instructions).
Probably best if I do as I'm told. I'll give you some feedback when I'm allowed to open it.

Hi Alastair,

Hi Chris, Is the book useful for occasional weekend wild camping in Scotand ?
Alastair, I think so. I intended it to be useful to all backpackers.
Hi Chris,
I've added this book to my Christmas list so hopefullyI will get it then.
Alastair
