Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

In 1981, a gentleman by the name of Sir High Munro published a list in the The Scottish Moutnaineering Club Journal of 538 tops over 3,000 feet--283 of which he claimed merited status as separate mountains. Almost immediately the Ordnance Survey published their revised six-inch maps, and some discrepancies were found in Munro's tables. Munro himself began a revision of his tables but sadly died before he could complete his task. Since then, various people, committees and editors have made alterations to his list, based mainly on new surveys.

In this book, Cameron McNeish has compiled an almanac handy enough to fit in your pocket or rucksack, providing information about the Munros. Each section contains information on accommodation, public transport to and within each area, the height and grid reference of each summit and even the pronunciation and meaning of each mountain, together with details of the most straightforward ascent route including approximate times, distances and ascent climbed.

The route details are not comprehensive directions, but more a rough outline of what McNeish considers to be the best route of ascent (and who am I to argue with his opionon?) used in conjuction with the relevant O.S. map, as indicated.

The author certainly achieves his objectives in that respect--and since "Munro-bagging" is now and established obsession with British hill walkers, this compact, easy-to-use and handy-to-pack book is an essential piece of equipment for any hill walker or climber wishing to emulate Cameron McNeish in bagging all the Munros. --Ben Naylor



Product Description

This guide to all of Scotland's Munros details the new list of 285 peaks and their localities, Gaelic pronunciation, height, and climbing routes with times for both ascent and descent. Maps and photographs illustrate the region with hints on where to stay, OS references and difficulty ratings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Munro Almanac, 1 May 2001
By A Customer
This is a superb information-packed wee book and excellent value for money. All heights and distances are given in imperial as well as the standard metric measurements, grid refs are provided for access points and a guide to pronunciation is provided for gaelic mountain names. McNeish tends to opt for long multiple-hill expeditions (eg the An Socach / Carn an Righ group) where two or three trips may be more rewarding, but as a whole, the Almanac is a valuable guide for those with an interest in Scotland's hills, be they committed Munroist or armchair climber.

5.0 out of 5 stars A handy wee gem..., 28 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This book does just what it says on the cover... you can't ask for anything more. It provides the bare essentials to routes, times, access points and even pronunciations of Scotlands highest hills.

It really is an essential bit of kit that every avid "bagger" should keep in their rucksack.
