My book Along the Divide has just won the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild Award for Excellence: Outdoor Book. I'm very pleased!
The judges commented: “Chris Townsend's
relatively slim volume on walking the Watershed of Scotland edged ahead
by combining some beautifully crafted prose with personal insights and
amusing detail. In the end his dogged pursuit of a seemingly arbitrary
line revealed some very well-explained concepts of what wildness means
in a modern Scottish concept. A wonderful book from an author who
immerses himself in the landscape without feeling the need to "list
tick" or beat any personal or other record”
