5.0 out of 5 stars Great ideas for exploring the Island, 13 Feb 2009
By Helen (Hampshire) - See all my reviews
I have to add comment following the previous review. The pocket-sized book does indeed have very short walks - as advertised - there are nine 'Easy Magic' of five minutes or under, nine 'Quick History' of fifteen minutes or under, eight 'Walks on the Wild Side' of twenty minutes or under and the remaining fourteen 'Highways to Heaven' are under forty minutes. Some of the walks are linear so you can double the time for the round trip! This is not intended to be a book for a day's walking but more a means of exploring (to quote from the book) "some of Skye's most magical places: beaches and bays, rivers, woodlands walks, churchyards, ruined castles and forts". Each walk has a line map and description including where to start, where to go, the time to allow, the type of path and 'did you know' facts about the place - often historical. Some routes are along paths, others are cross-country.

The review isn't 'tested' as we have yet to try the book on our forthcoming family holiday (ages 8-80+) but this appears to be what we need for finding places of interest off the beaten track (even if only slightly) as we explore and visit the parts of the island or when we just want to stretch our legs or find a picnic spot.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really a walk book, 7 Feb 2009
By F. Newington "fiz222" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This isn't really a 'walk' book. More a 'drive there in the car and get out to stretch your legs' book. Over half the walks take less than 20 mins which does stretch the definition of the word. Ideal if you're accompanied by a tired and emotional toddler!
