- Phoebe Smith
Travel writer Phoebe Smith, famed for her wild camping and extreme sleeping exploits, introduces her latest book, Britain’s Best Small Hills (Bradt, £14.99).
In it she argues that while we often assume that the higher the mountain the better the view, there are incredible views, stories and secret sleep spots that are on offer on some of Britain’s small hills. For instance, the Lakes is home to a tiny fell that once housed the Caveman of Borrowdale, Yorkshire has its own Matterhorn, and the perfect hammock spot exists on a hill under 300m in the South Downs.
There will also be a quiz, the winner of which will win a Jetboil camping stove worth £80.
