  Upland - A Journey through Time...

  'Fascinating and lyrical . . . A beautifully written celebration of a lifelong passion' – Stephen Venables
  The relationship of people with hills and mountains has been complex, rich and varied – from awe and wonder to fear and loathing, from spiritual longing to peaceful acceptance.
  As he explores our high places, Ian Crofton conjures up those who have been there before: Neolithic axe-makers, mass trespassers, shepherds, quarrymen, botanists, poets and pioneering cragsmen and women among them. At the same time, he is ever attuned to the present moment – a flash of bright moss in a bog, the swoop of an eagle above a skyline, a winter sun sinking into a sea of cloud.
  Following an arc from the gentle Downs of southern England to the wild peaks of Scotland's far north, Upland combines personal experiences with a keen curiosity about the history and nature of mountain landscapes, and the people who once worked and wandered among them. The result is a meditation on the enduring yet ever-changing hills, on the transience of human experience, and on the shifts and twists of time itself.
  Locations included:
  
  - Chilterns (following The Ridgeway)
  
  - Malverns
  
  - Snowdon
  
  - Peak District
  
  - Pennines
  
  - Lake District
  
  - Ben Nevis
  
  - The Cuillin, Skye
  
  - Assynt (Suilven)
  
  - Cairngorms

  Short story written by Jack London The Son of the Wolf consists of a single man who is known as Mckenzie or "Scruff". The story tells of the hardships of what single men had to endure on the frontier. Often men would venture on journeys that may consist of months or even years just in order to find the right suitor. Scruff had been the toughest of the tough and had lasted the longest on the frontier without the company of a woman. 
  This story connects with naturalism by showing that nature can be just as cruel as it can be forgiving if someone is alone on the frontier.
