No part of this publication may be reproduced, transmitted, transcribed, stored in a retrieval system, or translated into any language or computer language, in any form or by any means, without prior written permission from Christopher Earls Brennen. ISBN-0-9667409-1-2 Preface In this collection of stories, I have recorded some of my adventures on the mountains of the world. I make no pretense to being anything other than an average hiker for, as the first stories tell, I came to enjoy the mountains quite late in life. But, like thousands before me, I was drawn increasingly toward the wilderness, partly because of the physical challenge at a time when all I had left was a native courage (some might say foolhardiness), and partly because of a desire to find the limits of my own frailty. As these stories tell, I think I found several such limits; there are some I am proud of and some I am not. Of course, there was also the grandeur and magnificence of the mountains. There is nothing quite to compare with the feeling that envelopes you when, after toiling for many hours looking at rock and dirt a few feet away, the world suddenly opens up and one can see for hundreds of miles in all directions. If I were a religious man, I would feel spirits in the wind, the waterfalls, the trees and the rock. Many of these adventures would not have been possible without the mar- velous companionship that I enjoyed along the way.

  • One Man's Gift
    FOREWARD Mr Alex Blair, our highly-esteemed writer and historian, was approached by the family of the late Dr Cecil (Joe) Burns, together with the Board of the Robinson Memorial Hospital, requesting him to find time to edit and complete the history of the hospital that has been halted by the sudden death of Dr Burns in 1989. In spite of a very busy commitment to many other texts he had to honour, Mr Blair graciously agreed to our wishes. The book ‘One Man’s Gift’, will be greatly appreciated by all his readers, and will prove a worthy companion to Dr Burns’s ‘Pauper to Patient’ – a history of the Route Hospital. The seed was sown in 1929 when Mr Samuel Robinson came home on holiday from America and proposed to the people of Ballymoney that they should build a Cottage Hospital as a gift from him. This seed germinated in 1933 when the splendidly furbished, well equipped, bright, airy and attractive to behold building was declared open. In the intervening 66 years ‘The Robinson’ has experienced many changes but the one constant factor has been its total commitment to the care of patients. The story is well told in the modest in size but enthralling and very important book. The final chapter demonstrated the prospect of a secure future in a full programme of vital community care and general nursing. It is particularly comforting to know that terminally ill patients will be looked after by the Hospice palliative care nurses. On a more personal and informal note, I would like to recall the long and happy connection that we, as a family, have shared with ‘The Robinson’.

Miscellaneous 122 INTRODUCTION Women’s history is a relatively recent development in the Irish context and has been treated as something of a ‘separatist’ area. As Dr David Fitzpatrick asserted in a recent review ‘It is scarcely surprising that the pioneers of Irish women’s history have concentrated on women acting together in contexts where men appear as either adversaries or outsiders. The experience of the nun, the prostitute, the servant, the suffragist or the IWWU member, was moulded by attachments to social groups or organisations particular to women.
