Wandelgids Oban and North Argyll | Pocket Mountains
Wandelgids Oban and North Argyll | Pocket Mountains
This guidebook covers a large swathe of Mid and North Argyll, sweeping inland from the fractured western seaboard between Crinan and Appin to Arrochar and Bridge of Orchy on the region’s eastern periphery. Between these four points lies a landscape awash with sea lochs, with Inveraray roughly at the geographical centre. There are no large urban areas here and Oban is the largest settlement. Although the road network and public transport infrastructure are good, many routes feel off the beaten track. This is not only down to the low scattered population but also to the indented coast and its many islands, the sea lochs encroaching deep inland, the elongated freshwater lochs and the mountainous interior – making road travel much more convoluted than direct ‘as-the-crow-flies’ distances would suggest. As well as many great sea lochs, tumbling rivers and iconic mountains, Oban and North Argyll also boasts ancient, wildlife-rich woodlands and several fine gardens. Add to this the Crinan Ca…

Wandelgids Shetland | Pocket Mountains
Wandelgids Shetland | Pocket Mountains
Handige compacte wandelgids met 40 dagwandelingen. Deze gids bevat kleine kaartjes en leuke uitgebreide informatie over wat er langs de route te zien is. Goede wandelkaarten zijn echter we noodzakelijk voor deze tochten: de Ordnance Survey explorer maps of Landanger maps zijn zeer geschikt.

Although relatively little known to those from outside the islands, Shetland is a magnificent terrain for walkers, especially those who love to really explore and get away from the beaten track. The coastal walking here includes some of the finest in the country, with superb cliffs, towering sea stacks, caves and natural arches seemingly around every corner. Added to this is Shetland's better known claim to fame for its spectacular seabird colonies, huge gannetries, moorland packed with arctic and great skuas, arctic terns in the more sheltered spots, and ev…

Wandelgids Isle of Skye | Pocket Mountains
Wandelgids Isle of Skye | Pocket Mountains
The Isle of Skye (or Ant-Eilean Sgitheanach in its native Gaelic tongue) occupies an almost mythical place in the minds of many Scots. Romantic castles, magnificent sea-scapes, the alpine peaks of the Cuillin Ridge, marching pipe bands, scattered white crofters' cottages and a bloody history; the island has all these and more. This book features 40 moderate walks that take in much of this celebrated landscape, but reveal hidden gems too.   In spite of its popularity Skye is still rich in undiscovered treasures, from coastal caves and arches, ruined villages cruelly cleared of their inhabitants, to fossilised dinosaur footprints and a rich array of wildlife. Written by Skye residents Paul and Helen Webster, these walks will reveal both the wild and gentler sides of this dramatic landscape.   Plaatsen in het boekje An Aird, An Corran, Ardnish, Armadale, Arnish, Bearreraig Bay, Bioda Buidhe, Boreraig, The Braes, Broadford, Brochel Castle, Brothers' Point, Burma Road, Caisteal Maol, Calum…
