Summary
A unique hill-walking guide to 20 of Britain’s peaks, adding up to the exact height of Everest. Scaling the peaks of Everest, the world’s highest mountain, is the ultimate physical and mental challenge that the human race can aspire to. But as it takes years of preparation and a minimum of £25,000 to achieve, it remains out of reach to most of us. This audiobook allows you to embark on your own personal "Everest" without leaving England’s green and pleasant land. Ascending hills of varying sizes whose ascents add up to the same height as Everest, around 29,000 feet, celebrity vicar and countryman Peter Owen Jones guides the you on a road trip covering over 20 hill-climbs in different parts of England. The climbs can be done mindfully over a limited period, 20 days is the suggested time scale, or as fast as possible, thus creating a physical challenge rather like the Three Peaks. The climbs could also be undertaken separately over longer periods of time and used as opportunities for mindfulness and quiet meditation under Peter’s expert spiritual guidance. The journey takes in sacred places found on coastal cliff walks, ancient holy sites, tors, peaks, mountains, and the highest church in England.

a wonderful listen
I'm not a walker but having seen a few of Peter's TV shows I downloaded this out of interest on what might be his next project. Peter's way of narration filled my mind with the beauty of the scenery, and nature he was describing during his pilgrimage. I found I'd walked at least part of his journey during my much younger years (around Coombe Martin, Devon) and it brought back lovely memories of my childhood. Peter's voice is so soothing and his cadence is spot on.
Would recommend.

Disappointing!
I really wanted to love this audiobook but was unfortunately left feeling a little cheated by the description. I had expected to listen to a hill walking guide, but was very disappointed to discover that this most definitely is not a guide at all, but a rather confused and at times slightly pretentious collection of Peter's thoughts and experiences with very little insight into our beautiful hills and mountains. It isn't a bad audiobook, but it isn't a guide.
