We're thrilled to have a new updated edition of one of our all-time bestselling titles in stock - Cameron McNeish's The Munros: Scotland's Highest Mountains - a book which has sold more than 175,000 copies since its first publication!
The appeal of the country's tallest mountains continues to attract eager climbers every year, trying to bag their first Munro or working their way through the list to bag them all. But one of the dangers of the Munro bagging phenomenon is that many walkers set out to climb these great hills without actually getting to know them. This book is intended to introduce Munro climbers to different aspects of the hills' character in a more holistic way, not only as a guidebook buy as an essential reference book to be used in planning the days, weekends or weeks spent in one of Europe's most varied and remarkable mountain landscapes.
This book offers a choice of routes up all of the Munros, often combining several hills into one route to make for a satisfying day out. This also serves the purpose of spreading the load on the hill by suggesting more adventurous routes away from the popular 'honeypot' paths.
Stunning colour photography throughout portrays the grandeur and beauty of the hills, complemented by graphic route maps.
Following recent revisions to the Munro list (as it seems our mountains have a habit of shrinking...!) this new edition reflects recent changes to the classification list, and is available now!
