Synopsis

This is the story of the adventures of Stobcross Gentlemen's Climbing Club. Against all the odds thrown up by the Scottish weather, faulty map reading and the symptoms of physical decline, they strove to maintain the fine traditions of Scottish mountaineering. They battled through their Munros and Corbetts whilst valiantly trying to celebrate Burns' Night, Guy Fawkes Night and Hogmanay in a ritual calendar of the Scottish Hills.

Alongside these adventures are explorations of a different kind – ones into the history of the bothies and the mountains that make up the present day landscape, as well as the stories of those who have vacated the bens and glens within living memory. Based on Ian Mitchell's research and experiences, Mountain Footfalls adds a new dimension to hillwalkers' appreciation and enjoyment of the Scottish Highlands.

    ‘The game isn’t what it seems from the outside. The game isn’t quite what I was expecting. The game doesn’t always work like the people on television think it does. The game is better, worse and stranger than you can imagine, and that is coming from someone who saw it all with their own eyes.’ 
    Ever wondered what really goes on inside a Premier League dressing room, what it’s like to train under Roy Hodgson, Roberto Mancini and Fabio Capello – and what happens when you kick a sandwich at one of them? 
    When it comes to football, former Manchester City and England star Micah Richards has seen it all – and laughed about most of it. In The Game, Micah shares his funniest and frankest stories from on and off the pitch, be it arriving at his first England training session with two left boots, attempting to supervise the infamous Mario Balotelli or winding up Roy Keane on Super Sunday. From how he spent his first Premier League paycheque and how he prepared – financially and mentally – for the day they stopped coming, to the euphoria of lifting the Premier League trophy and the physical and emotional impact of injury, Micah reflects openly on the many wins and losses in professional football. 
    Full of Micah’s signature cheeky wit, this intimate, unmissable memoir goes behind the scenes of the beautiful game and a remarkable life and career. 
    In this riveting autobiography, Micah Richards delves into the personal growth he experienced in the world of soccer, a sport that is as much a performing art as it is a recreation. His journey to success, filled with both wins and losses, is a testament to his resilience and determination. 
    For fans of Peter Crouch (How to Be an Ex-Footballer), Ian Wright (A Life in Football), Guillem Balagué (Maradona), Gary Neville (The People's Game), and Mark Noble (Boleyn Boy).

    This book contains three titles: 
    - Climbing High: The origins of rock climbing date back centuries, with early climbers seeking adventure, exploration, or even survival on natural rock formations. However, it wasn’t until the late 19th century that climbing became a formalized activity. In the mountains of Europe, climbers began developing techniques and tools that allowed them to tackle increasingly difficult routes. From its humble beginnings, rock climbing has evolved into a global sport with various disciplines, each offering its own set of challenges and rewards. 
    - Fitness and Recovery: Fitness is not just about looking good; it’s about feeling strong, energetic, and healthy in all aspects of your life. The foundation of fitness begins with understanding what it truly means to be fit and how to set yourself up for long-term success. It is important to recognize that fitness is not a one-time achievement, but rather a continuous journey that requires dedication, balance, and conTo build a solid foundation, you must first understand the four main components of fitness: strength, cardiovascular health, flexibility, and body composition. Strength refers to your muscles’ ability to exert force. Cardiovascular health focuses on the efficiency of your heart and lungs. Flexibility ensures that your muscles and joints can move freely and safely. 
    - Mind-Body Fitness: The connection between the mind and body is a vital aspect of overall health, yet it is often overlooked in modern approaches to fitness. Mind-body fitness emphasizes the interdependence of mental and physical well-being, advocating for a holistic approach that nurtures both areas simultaneously. This concept transcends traditional workouts, offering a path to not only physical strength but also mental clarity and emotional balance.
