A Long Walk with Lord Conway An Exploration of the Alps and an English Adventurer

In 1894 Martin Conway became the first man to walk the Alps from 'end to end' when he completed a 1000-mile journey from Italy to Austria. Nearly 120 years later, Simon Thompson set out to explore both the mountains and the man. A charming rogue who led a 'fantastically eventful' life, Lord Conway was a climber and pioneering explorer. A restless, discontented man, he searched constantly for meaning and purpose - a search that led him back time and time again, to the Alps.
