"The poetry of the earth's landscape will never die for any naturist. I only have to look at the mountains planted firmly on solid ground to know that in all things of nature there is the presence of divine intervention.
It has always fascinated me why climbers should want to risk life and limb scaling the dizzy heights. For me, I was never one for heights and generally considered mountains for looking at, not climbing. There again, I must admit, it would depend on the nature of the view from the top once I got there which might prove to be the most persuasive factor!" William Forde: May 7th, 2016.
