Heather Dawe is the founder of Little Peak Press, a publishing company that aspires to make beautiful books that take you to the mountains and other wild lands. She is a runner, cyclist, artist, climber and also a full time mother. She has written and collaborated numerous books including "Waymaking" an anthology of women's adventure writing, art and poetry which was the winner of the Jon Whyte award at Banff Literature Festival in 2019. Her new book "Mountain Stories" is an illustrated memoir of journeys through some of Scotland's most beautiful landscapes, including Skye's Cuillin, Knoydart, Assynt and the Far North. Written during lockdown, she tells these stories as powerful means of reconnection with the mountains when they are physically inaccessible. Dawe's journeys are made by walking, running, cycling or sea-kayak. These stories are a reflection of the importance of wild places and the inspiration, art and culture associated with them. You can order the book from here - Mountain Stories - signed copy | Little Peak - books that take you to other places or your local bookshop can order it for you. I think she would like that! Hope you enjoy my chat with her.
