This book provides an informed, instructive, and wry insight into the world of the bivouac, drawing upon the author's wealth of personal experience. It is a celebration of bivvying - back-to-basics camping with just a lightweight bag between you and the elements. Honest and entertaining, there is every chance it will inspire you to find a remote hilltop, roll out your bag, and watch the sunset.

- A half-and-half mix of how to do it and why to do it (or how not to do it and why not to do it)
- Accounts of bivvybag nights and expeditions, both nice and nasty
- The rich and colourful history of the bivvy, including references from Classical Greece and the role of the bivvy in the first successful ascent of the Eigerwand
- Six routes for the aspiring bivouacker, in the Lake District, Scotland and the Spanish Sierra Nevada
