Product Description
Fully revised third edition of the first of Trailblazer's 10-title series of British Walking Guides. The West Highland Way is the most popular long-distance path in the country, passing through some of the most spectacular scenery in all of Britain. From the outskirts of Glasgow it winds for 95 miles along the wooded banks of Loch Lomond, across the wilderness of Rannoch Moor, over the mountains above Glencoe to a dramatic finish at the foot of Ben Nevis – Britain’s highest mountain.

The Perfect Guide,
By
This review is from: West Highland Way (British Walking Guides) (Paperback)
Buy this guide if you're going to walk the way!It is the latest version - 3rd edition - of the trailblazer guide (Amazon still sells the 2cnd edition and of the 4 people who have reviewed it, all have given it 5 stars.)West Highland Way: Glasgow to Fort William (British Walking Guide) The book is packed full of info; from important stuff to help plan the trip like what facilities each place has along the route and details including phone numbers of all the places mentioned (even the distilleries etc!) to random little snippets of info from some of the places along the walk. It even has a pictorial guide to the most common species of flower you may see! It's an A5 book with 194 pages and fits into a coat pocket easily. Even after being drenched several times and battered for over 100 miles it is still in very good nick. The maps are on a scale of 1:20,000 and so are incredibly easily to follow (the path is frequently signposted anyway). There are also maps and extra information about Glasgow, Ben Lomond, Glencoe and Ben Nevis in case you want to detour from the route. However, the maps are not in the same league as ordnance survey maps and so lack information such as contour lines. We managed perfectly well without an additional map but quite a few people we met had the Harvey map as well as this guide book. West Highland Way XT40 (Route Map)

So far so good...,
By
This review is from: West Highland Way (British Walking Guides) (Paperback)
I titled this review as I did because, while I have the book, I have not yet completed the walk... that will come later this spring. As an American who comes to the U.K yearly to walk many of the National Trails (Cotswold Way, Ridgeway, North Downs, Cleveland Way, Great Glen ana Speyside Ways) I have generally used the National Trail guides, with their Ordinance Survey maps. This does not, and that is my greatest concern. The hand-drawn maps and directions seem comprehensive and detailed, but the Ornince Survey maps help me to better reference my specific location. Otherwise, the information presented is more than satisfactory. I will re-evaluate after completing the walk. Stay tuned.
