I attended Jimmy’s book launch last Saturday evening.  I had never been to a book launch before, so I was curious. There was huge demand for his signature on the night, and with the demand for the book, all the hardback copies seemed to evaporate. Pictured above is my own copy, and I duly got in line to get Jimmy to sign it.

As to the book itself, excellent photos. Some different perspectives of familiar places, and some of unfamiliar places, places that wouldn’t be on the normal hillwalking path or places where you wouldn’t think to stop and look around.

In his speech, amongst other things, Jimmy highlighted that a major challenge for walkers is how to look after the fantastic resource that is the Galtees (and indeed all our mountain ranges) now, and into the future?

Best of luck with the book Jimmy.
