Guidebook to walking in Scotland’s Ben Nevis and Glen Coe region, featuring 100 graded walks of 2 to 21 miles. The routes range from gentle walks to bothy treks and cover 43 Munro summits and 3 scrambles. The routes include walking near Kinlochleven, Fort William, the Grey Corries, the Mamores, the Black Mount and Ben Cruachan. Cicerone says: This guidebook details 100 walking routes around Ben Nevis and Glen Coe, centred in 10 areas including Fort William and Glen Nevis, the Aonachs, the Mamores, Kinlochleven, Glen Coe, Glen Etive, Black Mount and Ben Cruachan. Routes are graded according to difficulty, and range between short, easy strolls and long, challenging walks with overnight bothy stays. The region’s 44 Munro summits are covered, including 2 easy scrambles and the formidable traverse of Aonach Eagach’s iconic jagged ridge. Alongside step-by-step route descriptions and mapping, the guide presents practical advice on transport, access, safety and where to stay plus background information on the area’s fascinating geology. Many of the routes reflect the author’s belief that the best rewards often lie off the popular tourist trails. Yet the highlights are all there: Buachaille Etive Mor, Aonach Eagach, the Mamores, the Grey Corries, Bidean nam Bian, Ben Starav, Carn Mor Dearg and of course, the mighty Ben Nevis. The book – like Glen Coe itself – encourages exploration and includes a helpful ‘summit summary’ to show different options and assist with route-planning Our Verdict For nearly 50 years Cicerone have been producing guidebooks on recognised treks, regions, areas and general tips for hikers. We have used them countless times and they’ve always provided excellent insight and knowledge that you only get through experience, giving you the edge to make your trip a success and more enjoyable too. If you’re a gram counter you can easily remove sections of the book to take with you making your own ultra-lightweight guidebook with only the essential sections that you require. – Reviewed by Ultralight Outdoor Gear Features Seasons: Low-level walks and scrambles: April to end of October recommended.
