Description
Baffies, the entertainments convenor of the Go-Take-a-Hike Mountaineering Club, is allergic to exertion, prone to lassitude, suffers from altitude sickness above 600m, blisters easily and bleeds readily. Think the Munros are too difficult? Think again. Baffies' Easy Munro Guide is the first of a series of reliable rucksack guides to some of the more easily tackled Munros. Twenty-five routes, each covering one main Munro, all with detailed maps and full colour throughout - this lightly humorous and opinionated book will tell you everything you need to reach the summit. Thousands of people each year attempt to conquer the Munros. This guide allows beginners and those looking for a less strenuous challenge to join in. It is perfect for anyone exploring Scotland's beautiful mountains, whatever his or her level of experience.
About the Author
RALPH STORER is an experienced and respected hillwalker who has hiked and backpacked extensively around the world. Despite being a Sassenach by birth, he has lived in Scotland since studying psychology at Dundee University and has a great affinity for the Highlands, where he can be seen in all weathers roaming the glens and tramping the tops. As well as disappearing into the hills for a regular fix of nature, he also writes novels and sexological non-fiction, and produces dark-wave music on his home computer.
Reviews
While the premise of the book has a humorous side... what you find within the covers of this slim volume is a truly outstanding guide book. UNDISCOVERED SCOTLAND
Pocket-sized with little room with littel room for superfluity, yet packed to bursting with concsied information adn route descriptions, there should be room for this guide in every couch potato's rucksack. JOHN MANNING - OWPG
