Fort William and Glen Coe Walks Pathfinder Guidebook

by Hugh Taylor, Hamish Brown, Neil Wilson and Peter Koch-Osborne
The walks in this Pathfinder Guide have a character of their own within the Scottish context. This is Scotland's fjord land, a drowned coastline with long sea arms wending far inland, where roads came only in the 18th century. The walks range, uniquely, from sea level to the highest summit in Britain, so offer a fascinating variety in terms of length, style and demands on stamina and skill. The guide seeks to give a selection of walks of all grades, to reward all interests.

Clear and easy to follow directions are accompanied by detailed Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 scale maps and specially commissioned photographs. With 28 colour-coded routes to choose from, all tried and tested by seasoned walkers and varying from extended strolls to exhilarating hikes, there is a walk to suit all situations.

The guide introduces you to the area and highlights the most scenic walks. Each walk entry begins with a box giving start, distance, height gain, time, parking and route terrain. This is followed by a short overview highlighting the routes features. The following route finding instructions have paragraphs numbered corresponding to numbers on the OS map making navigation safe and easy. There are GPS references for all the route waypoints and the route is highlighted in yellow on the map. The guide also includes information on where to park, good pubs and places of interest along the route.
