Walking in the Cairngorms

by: Ronald Turnbull
In over 100 walks this full colour guidebook explores the Munro summits of the Cairngorm region and the smaller hills outside the main range. For the adventurous it offers the best of the area's rocky scrambles and the classic through routes. For others there are easy sandy trails along the banks of the great rivers Spey, Nethy and Dee. It covers the main Cairngorm range between Speyside and Deeside, as well as Lochnagar. Routes to all the region's 23 Munro summits are also included.
There are colour photographs on almost every page of this well designed guide. The low and mid-level routes are illustrated with OS 1:50,000 Landranger mapping and there are detailed colour sketch maps for many summit routes. For each route starting grid references, distance, ascent, estimated time and terrain details are given together with a level of difficulty scale. Comprehensive route finding instructions are complemented by additional information about the route and places of interest all laid out in an attractive and easy to use format. The guide divides the region into seven sections as follows: Aviemore and the Spey; Glen More; Badenoch; Glenlivet and Tomintoul; Donside; Deeside Braemar; Balmoral and Lochnagar.
