Description
A guidebook presenting 69 routes visiting 139 of Scotland's 282 Munros (mountains over 3000ft). Covering the southern Highlands and the Isle of Mull, the hikes require good fitness and navigation skills plus experience in remote mountainous terrain: while many are straightforward ascents, some involve scrambling, exposure and river crossings.
The routes range from 7 to 48km (4-30 miles), with the option to reduce walking distance on some of the longer routes by cycling the approach.
- Part of a 2-volume set: an accompanying Cicerone guidebook, Walking the Munros Vol 2 - Northern Highlands and the Cairngorms, is also available
- Clear route description illustrated with 1:100,000 mapping
- Notes on maps, parking, accommodation and access for each route
- Lists of all the Munros (by height and alphabetically)
- Pronunciation and translation of Gaelic mountain names
