Wandelgids Lewis | Pocket Mountains

The Isle of Lewis is a magnificent domain of rugged hillcountry and lochan-scattered moorland, fringed by tenacious crofting townships. The coastline is a realm of rocky cliffs, sea lochs, islands and skerries while the west coast is garlanded with dazzling dune-backed beaches. History is everywhere in Lewis, with remarkable monuments to human endeavour - ancient and more recent - punctuating the landscape. These 25 walks explore the island's range of environments, providing opportunities to experience its spectacular wildlife and encounter the physical traces of its history.

Wandelgids Walking on Uist and Barra - Schotland | Cicerone

This guide offers 40 varied and graded walking routes on the unique 100km cluster of islands that make up Uist and Barra. From short, flat beach walks beside crystal clear waters to long excursions across wild mountainous terrain, the routes visit all the major islands from Berneray to Vatersay but also those smaller and offshore such as Eriskay and Mingulay. Walking across these landscapes, especially the hill country, gives a sense of remoteness and peaceful solitude that cannot be found in the mainland's National Parks or on the Munros busy with peak baggers. Despite a relatively narrow area, Uist and Barra's diverse islands offer a contrasting walking terrain and many ancient historic sites such as chambered cairns and standing stones as well as lots of local wildlife. Upland areas are home to red deer and golden and white-tailed eagles, while along the coast grey seals are common and thousands of birds set up their breeding grounds in the machair. Daily flights between Glasgow an…

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…

Goede wandelkaarten zijn echter we noodzakelijk voor deze tochten: de Ordnance Survey explorer maps of Landanger maps zijn zeer geschikt.
