She hitch-hiked her way around, travelling from Skye to Chamonix and many places in between, with all her possessions on her back, although these amounted to little more than a rope and a sleeping bag.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the money ran out, she worked as a forester, went winkle-picking on the Isle of Skye, acted as the helmsman of a schooner and did a stint as an artist's model. And always there were the mountains, drawing her away from a 'proper' job.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout this unique story, there are acutely observed accounts of mountaineering exploits as Moffat tackles the toughest climbs and goes on to become Britain's leading female climber - and the first woman to qualify as a mountain guide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moffat, Gwen","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44684317884706,"sku":"9781780226323","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/moffat-gwen-gwen-moffat-space-below-my-feet-2013-paperback-9781780226323-61170471371091.jpg?v=1738393689","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/space-below-my-feet","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
