Classic Munros - The Cairngorms

by: Chris Townsend
This is a walking guide to the best Munros in the Cairngorms National Park, hand picked by experienced hillwalker Chris Townsend. Small enough to fit in your pocket, and packed with essential information, it contains unique 3-D relief maps, detailed route summaries with access, distances, ascents and walking times, along with introductions to the history and topography of the Cairngorms. All eleven walks are graded for difficulty. The ratings, which are fully explained in the guide, reflect distance, navigation difficulty and terrain, and assume good weather conditions. Twelve of the finest Munros are included in the guide and, because the approaches from different sides vary enormously some Munros appear in more than one walk. In addition to the excellent relief maps there are also some stunning colour photographs of this spectacular region.
The route titles are as follows: Cairn Gorm; Ben Macdui; Braeriach; Bynack More; Beinn Mheadhoin; Braeriach, sgor an Lochain Uaine and Cairn Toul; Derry Cairngorm; Sgor an Lochain Uaine, Cairn Toul and The Devil's Point; Ben Macdui and Carn a'Mhaim; Beinn a'Bhuird; Ben Avon.
