The Ultimate Guide - From the pen of a dedicated Munro bagger comes The Ultimate Guide to everything you've wished the other books had told you before you set off. The lowdown on the state of the path, advice on avoiding bogs and tricky situations, tips on how to determine which bump is actually the summit in misty weather... this is the only guide to the Munros you'll ever need. The comprehensive rucksack guide features: - Detailed description of all practicable ascent routes up all 46 Southern Highland Munros and 21 Tops. - Easy to follow quality and difficulty ratings, enabling you to choose a munro for any level of experience. Baffie's Easy Guide - Think the Munros are too difficult? Think again. Meet Baffies, the entertainments convenor of the Go-Take-a-Hike Mountaineering Club. Named after his footwear of choice [Baffies is a Scottish word for slippers], he is gifted in the art of finding the easiest way up any given mountain. Dinna Fash Yerself - These are tough times. Prices spiralling! Climate change! International tension! Pandemics! It’s not hard to find things to worry about. But Scottish grannies can be an oasis of calm. Their wit and wisdom, their compassion and know how, their measured good sense and withering reproaches are exactly what is required. Scottish grannies are reassuring. They are relevant. And they need to be heard.
