This first volume of a two-part series of guides to the Munros covers the southern, central and western highlands, Glencoe, Lochaber and Mull, and details routes for these 139 exciting and challenging mountains. A comprehensive introduction provides the history of the Munros and includes vital practical information to make your quest as successful as possible. The guide includes: comprehensive information on tackling this famous collection of mountains, such as weather conditions, access, and the geology of the area; detailed route descriptions around each of the 139 Munros (all the popular routes included), with sketch map for each route; all routes prefaced by a wealth of information about Gaelic names, accommodation and access; useful 10-figure grid refererences for key points such as summits and start point of awkward descent lines; travel and other information on making the most of your walks and your stay in the area; appendix listing all the Munros covered in the guide; and outstanding full-colour photography. It has a hard-wearing, waterproof PVC cover and is part of a two-part series.

'Not another book on the Munros! But this one's different - not a coffee-table book but a 'climbing style' guidebook for actually taking on a Munro triphe guides are aimed unashamedly at the Munro collector as is evidenced by the introductory remarks that fair-weather climbers may take a lifetime to complete the round. Surely the whole point of the Munros is that they should give us a lifetime of experiences in all weathers and in all seasons? Route descriptions are well written and clearly set out with an attractive ochre-coloured panel containing essential data about the route such as distance, times, maps, access and local accommodation.
