The featured routes include the iconic Ring of Steall and Ben
Nevis via the Carn Mòr Dearg Arête, alongside classic entry-level walks
up the likes of Ben Chonzie, Ben Lomond in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs
and Mount Keen in the Cairngorms.
To assist you in
building an itinerary, the routes are split into ten Highland hubs which
include Glencoe, Fort William, Braemar and Pitlochry. These are chosen
to be easy to access and with decent public transport links to help you
make environmentally sustainable choices when you can. Base yourself in a
Highland hub for a long weekend or a lengthier stay, springboard to
Munro routes from each hub and return to access the recommended local
facilities including shops, pubs and cafes.
In
addition, the book is packed with useful information, including 1:40,000
scale maps, elevation profiles, route directions, public transport and
parking details, refreshments, downloadable GPX files for each route,
and custom timings for walkers, trekkers, fastpackers and runners. Along
with stunning photography, there are rest day suggestions,
accommodation ideas to suit multiple budgets and a series of supportive
indices through which you can find suitable walks, whatever your current
level of hillwalking experience.
Whatever your timescale for compleating Scotland’s Munros, Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 is the indispensable guide to this Scottish hill challenge.
