Mountaineer and author, Andy Cave, said, 'This is essential reading for all British walkers and climbers. Packed with good advice and a great insight into the brilliant work performed by our rescue teams.'
David Allan, Chairman of Mountain Rescue (England & Wales) said, 'This new book is concise and easily portable yet contains a wealth of information covering hill safety, dealing with misfortune, engaging mountain rescue and also gives a useful account of the structure and background of mountain rescue itself. Easily readable and presented in an attractive format, one hopes it will play a part in reducing some of the 'avoidable' incidents of recent years. It certainly deserves to be read by a wide audience, particularly those with limited hill experience and the more casual hill goer.'
