'Dark, wet rock hung above the path, no more than a narrow shelf clinging to steep walls before sliding into oblivion. The mist shifted, hinting at the plunging fall to the corrie far below, and I moved with measured care. One step to pass the arete: a perfect moment of weightless movement as the mountains held their breath. And then on and up, into thinning cloud to find the ridge above'Northern Horizons is the story of one runner's lifelong love affair with the mountains of Scotland and Cumbria. It is also a guidebook, and therefore an invitation to join a growing community that finds both solace and thrill in moving fleet-footed through the hills. Will Herman has spent much of his life exploring and piecing together some of the finest journeys among high plateaux, bladed ridges, sweeping slabs, towering pinnacles - and the myriad landscapes connecting them. Here, his experiences are revealed in a collection of deeply personal and evocative accounts, accompanied by route descriptions and sublime imagery that captures their exquisite beauty.

Residentin Lancashire, Will Herman grew up in West Cumbria, forging an early connectionwith the fells which remain home from home. Among Will's earliest memories,however, are countless days spent among the Scottish hills, where he wasintroduced to the mountains of Sutherland, Coigach, Assynt and Torridon,walking, scrambling and running whenever the opportunity allowed. Climbingand sea kayaking distracted Will for many years, during which time he completedclassic climbs at home and abroad, from the sea stacks and cliffs of Shetlandand North-West Scotland to the granite walls of Bregaglia in Switzerland.Fulfilling a long-held ambition to explore the Highlands and Islands by kayak,he has circumnavigated all the major Scottish islands and completed many otherchallenging trips, including rounding Cape Wrath and Whiten Head, and crossingthe Minch from Uig on Skye to North Uist. However, he was inextricably drawnback to the purity of running in the mountains.Apassion for writing and photography led to the publication of numerous articlesin adventure sports titles such as Sidetracked magazine, OceanPaddler and Canoe & Kayak UK, and his images have featured in awide range of publications including guidebooks, historical narratives andcelebrated titles such as The Great Sea Cliffs of Scotland by GuyRobertson. Will is also a regular contributor of race photography to TheFell Runner, published by the Fell Runners Association, and the organiserof a new Lakeland fell race.A memberof Clayton-le-Moors Harriers, Will completed the Bob Graham Round in 2019before turning his attention once again to Scotland and a new project,gathering his experiences from a lifetime among the hills and on the sea toproduce Northern Horizons in partnership with Scottish MountaineeringPress.
