Product Description
Product Description
This although, well-illustrated guidebook is the first to describe the ascent of Scottish mountains between 2,000 and 2,500 feet, collectively known as the Grahams. There are 224 such peaks scattered widely across the whole of the country, from Galloway to the far north, and seven are on islands, including Harris and South Uist. They range from the remote rocky outcrops challenging the serious, seasoned hillwalker, to readily accessible hilltops for complete beginners. THE GRAHAMS point the way to what could be considered the ultimate challenge for those who love Scotland's hills - the ascent of all 720 Munros, Corbetts and Grahams. Anyone lucky (and determined) enough to have completed such a mammoth undertaking will know the country in a way that most others can only dream of.
About the Author
Andrew Dempster has had over 20 years experience of walking in the Scottish mountains. He completed the Munros in 1988 and the Grahams in 1997, but admits to still havinga few Corbetts left. His previous books include CLASSIC MOUNTAIN SCRAMBLES IN SCOTLAND and THE MUNRO PHENOMENON, both of which were also published by Mainstream.

Format:Paperback
The first comprehensive guide to Scotland's 2000Ft hills, this book is a must for hillwalkers - there is life beyond the Munros and Corbetts! The information is well organised and well presented. The sketchy maps may dissapoint those expecting this to be a carbon copy of the SMC guides (Munros and Corbetts) but they do their job, illustrating the distribution of Grahams per section. The writing style and anecdotal information makes this a pleasure to read. This is a book for committed hillwalkers and armchair mountaineers alike.
Format:Paperback
Although this is the only book on the subject it does not have the clarity of the SMC books on the Munros and Corbetts. The maps are poor and routes are not shown and I found it difficult to find my way round. The route directions are reasonable, but alternatives shown in the SMC book on the Corbetts and other Hills are not all included.
