Over fifty years ago, renowned British hillwalker and guidebook author Alfred Wainwright described 214 peaks in the English Lake District in his seven-volume illustrated Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells. Like the Munros in Scotland, bagging all the Wainwrights has become a popular and significant challenge for walkers and runners, often taking many years in fits and starts because of the absence of a clear plan for how to link them together. With this problem in mind, Peak Bagging: Wainwrights by Karen and Dan Parker features forty-five routes designed to link up these iconic fells so you can enjoy the challenge of completing them at your own pace - over years, months or even just a few weeks.   It presents not only the most efficient routes for completing the Wainwrights as quickly as possible, but does so in such a way that each route is a fantastic walk or run in its own right. The featured routes include a round of the Scafells, and the Glenridding Horseshoe, taking in Helvel…

Over 130 years ago, mountaineer Sir Hugh Munro published the first list of Munros ? Scottish mountains with a height over 3,000 feet ? and inspired the hobby of Munro ?bagging?, a pastime which combines rugged adventure on a personal and literal journey around the Scottish Highlands with a nerdy compulsion to maintain a ticklist. Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 by Nicola Hardy (Munroist number 6,765) features 64 routes designed to link up the 141 most southerly Munros so you can enjoy the challenge of ?compleating? them at your own pace ? over years, months or, in rare cases, even just a few weeks. It presents not only the most efficient routes, but does so in such a way that each route is a fantastic walk or run in its own right.   The featured routes include the iconic Ring of Steall and Ben Nevis via the Carn M?r Dearg Ar?te, alongside classic entry-level walks up the likes of Ben Chonzie, Ben Lomond in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and Mount Keen in the Cairngorms. To assist you in b…

Erg mooie gids met aandacht voor 154 Schotse eilanden die de moeite waard zijn om te bezoeken.   Scottish Island Bagging by Helen and Paul Webster, founders of Walkhighlands, is a guide to the magical islands of Scotland.   Focusing on the ninety-nine islands that have regular trips or means of access for visitors, plus fifty-five other islands which have no regular transport but are still of significant size or interest, the authors have described the best ways to experience each one. Of the islands featured, many are household names – Skye, Lewis, Bute – while some, such as the isolated St Kilda archipelago and the remote Sula Sgeir, will be unknown to all but a hardcore few.   When it comes to things to see and do, the islands of Scotland have it all. Wildlife enthusiasts can watch out for otters, orcas and basking sharks, while birdwatchers in particular are spoilt: look out for the rare corncrake on Islay, sea eagles on Mull, or sight puffins, gannets, storm petrels and many othe…
