Product Description
To accompany the major BBC television series, A Wainwright has written this exciting book which is, once again, gloriously illustrated with the stunning photographs of Derry Brabbs. Starting in the far north, Wainwright travels down the west coast, linking the highlights of the journey in a continuous route. He travels through Sutherland and Wester Ross, over to Skye and then returns to the Central Highlands. He then turns north again to Strath Spey and ends his travels in the Cairngorms. Wainwright draws on his years of experience of walking and exploring the Highlands, viewing all the mountains at close range, climbing many of them and compiling a series of pen-and-ink drawings, a number of which are included in this book. The modern traveller will be able to leave his car and follow many of the routes once trod by Britain's most famous walker.

Format:Hardcover
One of my favourite books. Whilst more well known for his Lake District guide books, Wainright spent a lot of his time walking in the mountains of Scotland. This book covers all the mountainous areas of Scotland with some excellent photography and words and reminiscenses from Wainwright.

I bought this as a used book on Amazon, but it was in really good condition, reasonably priced and arrived on time. An excellent book that is very informative and has amazing photographs. I have visited some of the places in it so far like the Quaraing in Skye. Would recommend.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Produced to accompany a BBC series in the late 1980's this book has some good photographs and copies of Wainwright's original illustrations drawn in the days that he roamed the hills. Much of the book references a driving tour made with the BBC, with Derry Brabb's excellent photos to accompany his studied analysis of locations en route. Wainwright reports of many good access routes into the hills, without venturing far from their transport. Anyone hoping for route descriptions such as his excellent Lakeland guides won't find them here, but the content makes up for that in other ways. A useful addition to one's book shelves.

You cannot beat this man for walking guides, so detailed and well presented. This is no exception. Excellent condition for a "used" volume.
