Review
"This new Rucksack Readers guide to the Speyside Way is innovative, entertaining and practical, and makes a strong case for picking up your pack and taking to the Strathspey byways for a few days." Cameron McNeish
Product Description
The Speyside Way runs for 80 miles (129 km) from the fishing port of Buckie to Aviemore in the foothills of the Cairngorms. Following the lovely valley of the River Spey, you walk through countryside rich in malt whisky and wildlife, along riverside paths, railway trackbed and forest and moorland tracks. This fully revised edition of the essential trail guide has new mapping from Footprint in five panels, and new plans of villages en route and of Aviemore. The book is co-authored by the Speyside Way route manager, and contains all you need to plan and enjoy your holiday: drop-down map showing the whole route, plus Tomintoul spur (1:100,000); the Way step-by-step, with summaries of distance, terrain and refreshment stops; other walks including the Badenoch Way and Dufftown circuit; habitats and wildlife, including dolphin, osprey and wildcat; expanded coverage of whisky-making and distilleries; planning information for travel by car, train, bus or plane; printed on waterproof paper throughout.

Format:Paperback
Anyone planning a trip to Speyside will enjoy this excellent and informative read - a great starting point for any holiday. Dedicated walkers will find it compact yet comprehensive - a route planner and almanac combined. At just under a tenner, I rate it a great buy.
As a light recreational walker and home owner in Speyside for over 20 years, I already know something of the area. Yet I found this new publication packed with useful, interesting (and accurate) information from start to finish. Indeed, I read it like a novel!
Of course, it's greatest value will be when actually on the trail and the spiral binding, waterproof paper and large-scale maps should make reading on-the-move very easy. The authors have an unusually clear style of writing and pack a great deal of information into short, punchy paragraphs. The entire publication is well presented and beautifully illustrated with original photographs and maps and there are suggestions and tips on everything from clothing to accommodation.

This book describes the walk from the coast uphill to Aviemore. It has some useful info, some good photos and a strip map of the walk in a semi stylised form.
It's waterproof, but also fairly heavy for what you get.
I have to say that having seen the book I also bought the Harveys map of the walk, which I found more useful on the walk itself.
