Walking the Munros Vol 2 - Northern Highlands and the Cairngorms (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A guidebook presenting 70 routes visiting 143 of Scotland's 282 Munros (mountains over 3000ft). Covering the northern Highlands and the Isle of Skye, the hikes require good fitness and navigation skills plus experience in remote mountainous terrain: while many are straightforward ascents, some involve scrambling, rock climbing and river crossings.

The routes range from 7 to 46km (429 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 1 Southern, Central and Western Highlands, 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

Autorenporträt

Steve Kew made his first solo climb at the age of 11 in the Lake District when he pioneered an interesting route from his campsite in Grasmere to the summit of Helm Crag; he has been hooked on mountains ever since. He attended a beginners' rock climbing course in 1970 and immediately returned to do the intermediate and advanced courses. Since then he has climbed and walked extensively throughout Britain; in the Alps he has done many of the classic 4000m peaks such as the Matterhorn, Nadelgrat and Monte Rosa traverse and has been on several trekking and climbing trips to the Nepal Himalayas and the Karakoram. He lives in southwest Scotland where he is a member of the Galloway Mountain Rescue Team and Chairman of the Stewartry Mountaineering Club. His previous writing includes three other books, many articles for newspapers and magazines and radio drama for the BBC.
