He was walking in his favourite hills only two weeks before his sudden death in July, 1958. Never out of print it has been revised several times. This book concentrates on the most popular of our mountains, since the first idea of active visitors to North Wales is to have a shot at Snowdon. Those who wish to follow up the good work should get the author's earlier book, Hill Walking in Snowdonia. Mr Rowland was known as 'The Old Man of the Mountain. His mountain was certainly Snowdon. When he retired, he returned to North Wales and more ample leisure time gave him the chance to sit upon every mountain cairn from Conway to Criccieth, and to explore every wild cwm in Snowdonia. With such a guide, the novice can venture confidently into the wilds, and find there much peace and profit to mind and body. Taken from the back cover description. (6th ed. 1999) N.B.

But this is not quite the case. Scrambling - ascending rock that is not usually difficult or steep enough to warrant the term 'rock climbing' - can take you to many exciting places, many well removed from the beaten track. Even in popular areas of the Lake District, by combining several scrambles you often hardly touch a path a rarely see other people at close quarters. This is a way of getting back to a wilder Lakeland and enjoying the freedom of rough mountain country. A good long scramble with interesting route finding, uncluttered by the paraphernalia of modern rock climbing, gives a very satisfying way of exploring England's Lake District. N.B.
