What's in the issue

After a day of cold and blustery hillwalking, few things match the joy of stepping into a warm, welcoming pub, and with the arrival of autumn this issue celebrates the excellent combination of peaks and pints. We round up our favourite walkers’ watering holes across Britain, and take a spectacular backpacking trip to Britain’s remotest pub on the mountainous peninsula of Knoydart. This issues comes with our bumper 16-page expert guide to mountain photography. Discover the best digital cameras to buy, and get a host of tips for lifting your pictures from average to extraordinary, whatever your experience level. Elsewhere, you can bag three scrambles for the price of one on Blencathra, grab some winter sun by hiking the beautiful mountains of Spain’s Costa Blanca, and if you really want to turn up the heat, go volcano-climbing in Guatemala. We also put the best waterproof jackets to the test – which is the best one to buy? Find out inside!
