Reader Reviews:
Real genius! (1/2 people found this helpful)
Rather than leave you with an empty space this lovely Thursday, we thought we'd tell you about a new book we're absolutely in love with: Pocket Mountains' guide to the West Highland Way.
It's a TRULY compact guide (it'll fit in the meanest of trouser pockets) and it's sturdy and weatherproof. But the real genius is in the writing and photography. The images are worthy of a coffee table treasure, and the descriptive passages from writer Dan Bailey flit effortlessly from breathless purple prose to good, hard facts and figures.
It breaks down the way into its component sections, and also features "detours" from each section of the route, including a trail to the Blackwater Dam from Kinlochleven, a walker's guide to summiting glorious Buachaille Etive Mor, and even a guide to tackling the Carn Mor Dearg Arete on B Nevis Esq.
Truly one of the most inspiring and easy-to-read guides to a national trail that we've ever seen (aside from our own Hill Guide section, of course - click here for that). On the back of it, at least one member of the LFTO team has now resolved to do the damn thing ASAP.
