Product Description

Review

'An inspired selection in the Highlands and Islands which includes some standard favourites' - Yorkshire Post 'The book's value lies in its accessibility, and ideal for the 'where do you fancy climbing this weekend' approach' - Glasgow Herald

From gentle afternoon strolls to challenging scrambles in remote mountain sanctuaries, this revised and updated guide covers walks in the Scottish highlands. All walks are circular and accessible by road. No rock climbing is involved and the routes, each including a peak over 2000 feet, have been selected by an experienced Scottish walker. All Highland regions are included and each walk can be completed in a day. Maps and information about difficulty rating, type of terrain and conditions in adverse weather is provided.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enough walks to last many a visit - but read it carefully., 7 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This collection of Storers favourite routes is a superb guide for keen walkers and scramblers. A helpful grading system enables easy selection of walks to fit in with your itinery and adventurousness! Storer concentrates on the most interesting routes and thankfully doesn't ignore the impressive hills which rank below the Munro heigh of 3000ft, such as The Cobbler. However, the descriptions are brief and must be studied with care. On one recent walk I cursed the author when presented with an exposed scramble which could have been tricky in the swiftly changeable weather. Later examination of the text revealed a sentence of extreme brevity that, in hindsight, detailed the terrain quite accurately. In Ralph's defence he does stress that the walker should do his homework and points out that many of the walks are serious expeditions, especially in winter. Where this book fails, however, is in it's format. The contents are a compilation of his other works and I would recommend purchasing the individual titles, which include beautiful colour photographs of the crags, peaks and ridges described. The images simply make you crave to be there! By comparison'100 Best Routes..' appears grey and uninspiring, with only a handful of grainy black and white photos.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect companion for walking in Scotland, 19 Jun 2003
Ralph Storer does an magnificent job explaining a wide variety of walks, all of which are well thought out to be both interesting and challenging. I am a novice, and used the book when walking with an experienced walker, and we both found the walks rewarding.
I found the times roughly spot on, and if anything a little generous, but I guess there is no 'average walker'. None of the walks I went on were too busy, so grab this book while you can - it's the perfect accompaniment for the walker in Scotland. And at £7, it's a snip!

3.0 out of 5 stars Read and Walk with care, 8 April 2003
This is a very useful pocket guide to the best Scottish mountain walks. The author has put in ingenious tabulated guides to difficulty, under the headings of Grade, Terrain, Navigation and Seriousness, and has packed a great deal of information into a small paperback.
However, I agree with the other readers who find his routes tricky to follow. The first one I did involved following a very broken down stalker's path. I used to love to follow these ingeniously devised old routes, but in this case the path was collapsing and I suddenly ended up rolling uncontrollably down a bank into a river and came to rest with my head a few inches from a large boulder! Had a sore ankle for a week or two, but luckily it was the last day of my holiday!
Ralph Storer is quite inspiring, so I shall try some more on my next Scottish trip, but with some caution.
