In reply to michaelb1:
Not a man afraid of giving offence! Went to Plynlimon last weekend partly inspired by the totally contemptuous write up Poucher gave it in his Welsh Peaks: 'There is absolutely nothing to relieve the monotony of the landscape on this route...'
On the other hand, I first came across his Scottish Peaks when I was 15, page after page of wonderful mountain photos to inspire. They still do.
