Product Description
Review
'Not another book on the Munros! But this one's different - not a coffee-table book but a 'climbing style' guidebook for actually taking on a Munro trip. The guides are aimed unashamedly at the Munro collector as is evidenced by the introductory remarks that fair-weather climbers may take a lifetime to complete the round. Surely the whole point of the Munros is that they should give us a lifetime of experiences in all weathers and in all seasons? Route descriptions are well written and clearly set out with an attractive ochre-coloured panel containing essential data about the route such as distance, times, maps, access and local accommodation. Denis Rankin, Irish Mountain Log Spring 2005
Product Description
A comprehensive introduction provides the history of the Munros and includes vital practical information to make your quest as successful as possible. The guide includes: comprehensive information on tackling this famous collection of mountains, such as weather conditions, access, and the geology of the area; detailed route descriptions around each of the 139 Munros (all the popular routes included), with sketch map for each route; all routes prefaced by a wealth of information about Gaelic names, accommodation and access; useful 10-figure grid refererences for key points such as summits and start point of awkward descent lines; travel and other information on making the most of your walks and your stay in the area; appendix listing all the Munros covered in the guide; and outstanding full-colour photography. It has a hard-wearing, waterproof PVC cover and is part of a two-part series.

Format:Paperback
This is a great little book - I was surprised at how easily it fits in a coat pocket. The routes are some of the more interesting ones but beware if you are inexperienced - many of the routes are 30km plus and aimed at people who want to cover many peaks in a day. If you are planning to tackle the munros one or two at a time, you might find this frustrating. Also, the timings are much faster than mine, but predictably so, if you know how far behind you usually are, you can work out how long the routes will take you! The safety bits and description of the Cairngorms is excellent and well worth a look if you are heading there for the first time. As always, you need a decent map with you.
Format:Paperback
This book and its accompanying vol I are a great source of information when heading to the hills. The route descriptions are brief and sometimes confusing, but it is a small book in a handy size to carry in your rucksack. Also the cover is waterproof, which is a nice bonus.

As usual the cicerone books do not disappoint. The information given regarding routes, descriptions and general info are brief enough to give you what you really need without all the faff that other guide books include. This goes perfect with my other cicerone guides and i'm sure it will be well used!!
