Review
'First-class guidebook for climbers and serious walkers... Anyone setting out for Scotland with mountains in view should take Mr Poucher's book in their pocket.' Glasgow Herald; 'An excellent guide... should be compulsory - as well as fascinating - reading for climbers, ramblers and fellwalkers, to be studied before, during and after every outing.' Cumberland Evening Star; 'The pictures are so excellent that the merest novice should safely achieve his peak with their aid in good weather.' Yorkshire Post
Product Description
W. A. Poucher's guides, first published in the 1960s, are some of the most popular books for fellwalkers, climbers and scramblers ever published. They are packed with guidance on clothing, equipment, accommodation, route finding, distances and times, all in an attractive pocket-sized format to slip into your rucksack. Aspiring landscape photographers will find a chapter of essential tips in each book to help them too. Since the author's death in 1988, the guides have been updated in consultation with John Poucher, the author's son. Frances Lincoln took over publication of W. A. Poucher's guides from Constable in 2004.

As well as a having very individual writing style, this book manages to combine the pocket size format needed to be taken on a walk with coffee table book quality illustrations- hundreds of them showing routes up every crag in N Wales! My only criticism would be the map reproduction (not a Welsh Wainwright)- but then you should be digging out a proper OS or Harvey map anyway.
Although a reprint of a book 40 years old, Poucher's fantastic text has been recently revised to allow for access changes.
Strongly recommended.
