Product Description
Synopsis
In over 100 walks this first Cicerone walking guide to the Cairngorms explores the region's 23 Munro summits and also the smaller viewpoint hills outside the main range. For the adventurous there are the best of the area's rocky scrambles, and the classic through-routes used by cattle-drovers and Queen Victoria. For others there are easy, sandy trails wandering among the tall pines and along the banks of the great rivers Spey, Nethy and Dee. Britain's biggest mountain range is special in several ways. There's the granite plateau, and an Arctic ecosystem of gravel, boulders and late-lying snow. There are the glacial glens and high corries, where green lochans lie below great crags of the plateau rim. And at the hill foot grows the ancient Caledonian forest. Along with the main Cairngorm range between Speyside and Deeside the book covers Lochnagar. It complements Cicerone's winter climbing guide to the region.

Format:Paperback
Very well laid out with lots of inspiration to get you into the great outdoors.
Didn't give it 5 stars as we've found some errors in the text which could lead you quite astray - don't think the author can have checked his draft notes carefully enough by re-doing the walks before the book was put to print!
Other than that one criticism, the book is recommended.

I have found this book a brilliant resource for planning walks in the Cairngorms. It is very easy to link up shorter walks to be able to have extended walking routes that will enable some wild camping on route. All in all a very comprehensive guide, but I would recommend using this book in conjunction with the Cairn Gorm and Aviemore O.S. map and not use the book as a stand alone navigation aid
