Penny takes us on seven more high altitude treks to share the wonder of the 8000 metre peaks as well as less well-known areas of the Himalayas including Zanskar, Sinkiang and Bhutan. Alongside stories of her adventures are sketches and water-colours of the mountains and some of their special flora. She and her husband have crossed gorges by bridges made of twigs, walked through the night to catch an 'emergency' plane and ridden camels over the river tumbling from the northern glaciers of K2. They have also enjoyed the stunning beauty of the remote areas reached by these efforts.
