Back Page Press Moonwalker: Adventures of a Midnight Mountaineer

Moonwalker is the memoir of a man whose love of Scotland's mountains would override his body-clock and all conventional notions of health and safety.

When Alan Rowan finished his shifts as a sub-editor at a national newspaper at midnight, he knew he was too jacked up on deadline adrenaline to attempt sleep. So he headed into the Highlands to begin climbing mountains in the middle of the night, see the sun rise above the clouds and then come down the mountain just as everyone else was going up. Moonwalker is funny and touching; at once a deeply personal memoir and a riotous travelogue.
