5.0 out of 5 stars
Exactly the information you need, 29 July 2003
This review is from: West Highland Way: Map/Guide (Footprint) (Map)
I must say, this is a first rate guide, having exactly the information needed in a very concise and clear form. My minor gripes are that the stated number of feet climbed by section is often optimistic and lot of people would like to see kilometers marked in addition to miles. The fact that it's on waterproof paper is an excellent feature; that and its small size mean that you can pocket it and repeatedly refer to it even in the wet. By the way, if you mark additional info (e.g. telephone numbers) on it, use a ballpoint pen or similar that won't wash off! Having said all that, it's about the best walking guide I have used.

Great Little Map, 8 Jan 2009
This review is from: West Highland Way: Map/Guide (Footprint) (Map)
I eventually managed to find this map after seeing another walker use it and I am now on my second one. This a great little map for the West Highland Way but my description gives it away... it is not a big map and if you are looking for routes surrounding the West Highland Way and for telephone numbers for accommodation, etc then you may well need something more detailed. I would like to confirm though that the detail surrounding the West Highland Way itself is excellent and very clear, showing all the usual features including contours, bridges, forests, burns, etc and is all you'll need for walking unless you intend to leave the West Highland Way and explore the hills (in which case I'd suggest nothing short of the Ordnance Survey Explorer maps). If, like me, you are looking for a quick map and guide to keep you on the right track (and tell you how far you've walked) then this is invaluable. I have walked the West Highland Way several times now and know my way, however I still take this map with me. It's lightweight and easy to unfold/fold which is great when it's wet and windy (and when the midges are out!). Excellent!

A useful tool for a walker, 4 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: West Highland Way: Map/Guide (Footprint) (Map)
Walking the West Highland Way in August, I needed a map and I chose the Footprint map. To make it short: It shows any details a walker is in need for and that's why this map is a really useful tool. It's delivered in a plastic bag that makes it waterproof and shows the complete way in 10 sections, with additional information about the way itself, acommodation, camping sites and distances. I am going to walk the West Highland Way again, and this map will be in my bag, that's for sure.
