Description
Scottish mountain summits over three thousand feet.
The Munros are Scotland’s mountains over 3,000 feet, and this collection of summits offers a wealth of options for experienced hikers. This volume covers the Southern, Central and Western parts of the Highlands. The terrain includes both well-known mountain areas and more remote groups where a single summit day can easily fill a long day.
Sixty-nine routes across 139 summits.
The selection includes Ben Nevis, Ben Lomond, Glencoe, Ben Lawers, the Mamores and the Grey Corries, among others. The routes often combine several summits, providing a starting point for planning efficient and varied days in the mountains. This is Volume One of two; it does not cover all the Munros in the rest of Scotland.
Maps and an overview for completing the routes.
Route descriptions are accompanied by maps at a scale of 1:100,000 and practical information on access, parking and accommodation. The book helps you assess how a mountain group can be climbed and how the trip fits into your travels. It also provides a basis for comparing alternative route days when the weather forecast makes it necessary to change plans.
For experienced hikers in the summer hiking season.
Several routes are long, remote and demanding, requiring good fitness and navigation skills. The guidebook is designed primarily for summer conditions. Snow and winter weather can turn a described walk into a far more serious mountain undertaking. Use the route information together with current conditions and a realistic assessment of your own experience and ability.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
