I recenlt walked the Great Glen Way and the book was really useful. There was lots of useful information that made me realise that this had been written by someone who knew the walk.
A really good format for reading the book with fold out content and it was waterproof! Was really useful seeing as one of the more taxing days for navigation it rained. Their website for Rucksack readers is really good aswell and you can even sample the books contents. got me thinking, where next??? Maybe Mount Kilimangaro!! A good walk, worth the book and some additional web research.

A very useful guide,

This review is from: Great Glen Way (Rucksack Readers) (Spiral-bound)
I walked the Great Glen Way this year and found the guide useful and interesting. Other reviewers have criticised the map for being too small, with a lack of detail. But the Great Glen Way is so well signposted, you don't really need a detailed map and if you like maps the only ones to buy are the O.S. ones! This guide gives excellent descriptions of the history of the route, its wildlife and of things to do around it. The section on planning and the references are also very useful. For me walking is not about getting from A to B. It's about enjoying the countryside and finding out about it. This is a great guide to help with that.

Walking with Micwic,

This review is from: The Great Glen Way (Map)
Great book, reference guide, just completed the GGW (24 may) in the mega storm as apparently covered / reported by the news. It was windy, wet and cold, oh yes the sun did pop out for a minute. You do not really need a map for this well defined route, however even though this guide book does provide an excellent map it is the references to the walk that makes it an excellent companion. It is informative and well designed. I walk a lot, i recommend it and yes i can assure you its waterproof.
