NORTHERN HORIZONS WINS AT BANFF

Northern Horizons has been selected as the Guidebook category winner in the 2025 Banff Mountain Book Competition.

Paul Scully, Director of the Kendal Mountain Book Festival which forms part of the Kendal Mountain Festival, and one of the three Banff 2025 Book Competition judges, said: “A lyrical and inspiring journey into the heart of the Cumbrian and Scottish mountains. Will Herman’s beautifully crafted work is as much a memoir as it is a guidebook — a seamless blend of essays and exploration. With stunning photographs and evocative descriptions, it invites readers not just to see the landscape, but to feel it.

“At its core, the book centres the deep and evolving relationship between person and place, encouraging a reflective, almost meditative engagement with the mountains. It stirs a longing for wild spaces and makes you dream of setting off into the hills yourself.”
