Routes throughout the UK
Product Description
This inspiring guide describes 82 walking routes to the highest points (?tops') of the UK's 91 historic counties in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, from Inverness-shire's Ben Nevis (1344m) to Huntingdonshire's Boring Field (80m), visiting 10 national parks and numerous Areas of Outstanding National Beauty, including the Cairngorms, Dartmoor and the Lake District. There are a range of walks for all abilities and something for everyone, wherever they are in the UK, whether at home, on holiday or just travelling through. The graded routes range from strolls over easy ground to mountaineering expeditions. Some rank among the finest summits in the UK: Ben Lomond, Helvellyn, Pen y Fan, The Cheviot, Scafell Pike, Slieve Donard and Worcestershire Beacon. Others appear in unlikely places such as a military firing zone in Yorkshire and a back garden in south-east London and every top has its own story. The author was the first person to reach all 91 tops in one trip without motorised transport and recorded his adventure in his first book ?Heights of Madness'. Here he shares his routes, top tips and interesting facts about the tops and the historic counties. Illustrated with OS maps, sketch maps and colour photographs.

In so far as British politicians keep changing our local boundaries (for no clear reason and without democratic mandate), the UK Historic Counties are the obvious choice for the county top hill bagger. Jonny Muir's book is all you need and very well presented with full colour extracts from the relevant Ordnance Survey maps in addition to details of parking, route finding, local photos and interesting facts about each county. The point of such lists and books is to take you to beautiful areas that you might not otherwise visit and this book will certainly help you do that. P.S. He also gives a list of modern Unitary Authorities in the Appendix if you really want to visit the highpoints of Hull, Merthyr Tydfil etc.

I gave this book to my husband for Christmas - he loves it and unfortunately intends to make it to all the peaks! I have to say the book is smaller than I imagined, but it doesn't seem to have interfered with the recipient's enjoyment.
