new walking book plug

Fri, Jun 19, 2009

Graeme is here, on his way further north to finish his Corbetts and he’s brought along his new book, “101 Best Hill Walks in the Scottish Highlands and Islands”.

It’s different from the normal format in that it has 3D style maps of each route and the pictures are rather good. You can get it from Graeme’s website and and you can also order prints of all the pictures in the book, from the book’s section on his site. I helped out with the Gaelic translations and the pointy bits of the Skye walks when we went along the Sgurr na Banachdich to Sgurr a’Ghreadaidh part of the Cuillin ridge.

Graeme describes less frequented routes to some of the more popular hills. Have a look at Ben Lomond via Comer (where Rob Roy’s wife lived) and Ben Nevis via the gorge. Well worth a read.
