Product Description
Product Description
The West Highland Way is the first and most famous of Scotland's long-distance walks. It begins on the outskirts of Glasgow, its largest city, then goes through Scotland's first National Park, along the shores of its largest loch. After 95 miles (152 km) of superb scenery, the Way ends in Fort William, at the foot of Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain. The second edition of this popular guidebook was fully revised in 2003, with many improvements, including more photographs, details of the new Scottish Outdoor Access Code and a Fort William town plan. It contains all you need to plan and enjoy your holiday: drop-down map showing the whole route in six panels; waterproof paper throughout; the Way in sections, with summaries of distance, terrain and where to find food and drink; concise background on the history and wildlife; information about side-trips and mountain climbs including Ben Lomond and Ben Nevis; planning information for travel by car, train, bus or plane; in full colour, with 60 photographs.

Good in some ways. Bad in others,
This review is from: The West Highland Way: Updated Summer 2003 (Paperback)
While this book is pretty good for a basic map and gives a lot of information about certain things (luggage couriers, highly detailed [albeit mostly unnecessary] guide to the walking) it is woefully inadequate in other respects. For example there is very little to suggest any difference between Kinlochleven and Altna Feadh. On the map they are marked identically and there is no text on either. Kinlochleven is a relatively large town with multiple YHs, pubs, a chip shop etc. Altna Feadh is a car park.We went and ended up doing little sections here and there and for this the book was next to useless. If you stick rigidly to your plan and stop at places that are detailed in the book you will be fine. Having said that I have no idea what the other guidebooks are like.

This review is from: The West Highland Way: Updated Summer 2003 (Paperback)
Have recently done whw using this guide.Book is tough enough to survive 8 days in rucksack. Information is acurate and up to date, but would suggest new walkers check amount of up and down on each leg. Some days are more strenuous than they appear from the guide.

This review is from: The West Highland Way: Updated Summer 2003 (Paperback)
When walking the West Highland Way, this book was my bible. With its drop-down map, lots of information on history, geology and wildlife and masses of photos, it's all you need in one handy package. The waterproofpaper is a great idea. I've used my book twice in all weathers over 4 years,and it's still in good condition.Dont leave home with out it
