Description
The landscape and the journey
Peter Edwards, David Lintern and Stefan Durkacz combine large photographs with practical routes through Highland and island landscapes. Fisherfield, Glen Etive, Loch Coruisk, Harris and Cape Wrath provide inspiration for staying out overnight and continuing the next morning.
Routes and itinerary options
The 30 routes are mainly two- to four-day backpacking trips, plus one day walk, covering approximately 13–94 kilometres. Western, central, eastern and northern Highlands and the Hebrides offer varied projects to revisit over time.
Maps and practical planning
1:100,000 maps and Cicerone GPX files accompany camping, bothies, equipment, navigation, weather and low-impact travel advice. Bothy guidance and Munro and Corbett summaries support planning. Use the route information to compare stages, plan your stops and check practical arrangements before departure.
Choosing the right trip
Pathless, rough and remote ground, occasional easy scrambling and at least one tent night on several routes require fitness, navigation and self-sufficiency. Choose an itinerary that fits your experience and available time, allowing flexibility for weather and local conditions.
