Walking the Munros Vol 1 - Southern, Central and Western Highlands (häftad, eng)

Scotland's 282 Munros, the mountains over 3000ft, represent the ultimate challenge in British hillwalking. This first volume covers 139 of them across the southern, central and western Highlands, from Ben Lomond above Loch Lomond and the ridges of Glencoe to the remote plateau of Ben Alder and the summit of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles.

This fourth edition Cicerone guidebook by Steve Kew presents 69 routes across some of Scotland's most iconic mountain terrain, with walks ranging from 7 to 48km (4 to 30 miles) and requiring good fitness, navigation skills and experience in remote mountainous terrain.

Clear route descriptions are paired with 1:100,000 mapping, with notes on parking, accommodation and access for every route. 69 routes are included covering 139 Munros across the southern, central and western Highlands, including Ben Nevis, Ben Lomond, Schiehallion, Ben Lawers, the Mamores, the Grey Corries and the Arrochar AlpsAreas covered in full include Glencoe, Bridge of Orchy, Glen Shee, Ben Alder and the Isle of Mull, with routes taking in some of the most celebrated mountain landscapes in ScotlandClear route descriptions are provided with 1:100,000 mapping, honest difficulty notes and guidance on scrambling, ridge walking, river crossings and the navigation skills required for each routeNotes on maps, parking, accommodation and access for each route, making it straightforward to plan a day on the Munros from any of the main centres, including Fort William, Glencoe, Crianlarich and PitlochryGaelic mountain name pronunciation and translation included for every summit, helping walkers engage with the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of the Scottish Highlands Bagging all 139 Munros in this volume is an achievement in itself, but each summit offers far more than a tick on a list — from the Aonach Eagach ridge in Glencoe, one of the most exhilarating ridge walks in Scotland, to the vast solitude of Ben Alder's remote plateau.

This guidebook gives every walker the tools to meet that challenge with confidence. Walking the Munros Vol 1 is one half of a two-volume set covering all 282 Scottish Munros.
