Ben Nevis and Glen Coe - A Walking Guidebook

The area from Ben Nevis southwards towards Glen Coe offers some of the finest mountain walking in the UK. This guide not only covers Lochaber's spectacular summits but also describes mid-level walks and gentle strolls, great through routes along empty glens, and tent or bothy treks - serious in terms of remoteness and scenery.

'The area from Ben Nevis southwards towards Glen Coe offers a variety of superb walking. This attractive guide not only covers Lochaber's spectacular summits but also describes mid-level walks and gentle strolls. Maps and route gradings are included.'

(The Scot's magazine / October 2007)

'Subtitled 100 walks in Lochaber, this guidebook covers some of Scotland's finest summits, including 44 Munro's.
 The guide itself is both concise and informative. The author, Ronald Turnbull, has an obvious love and encyclopaedic knowledge of the area. He first climbed Ben Nevis by its famous Tower Ridge at the age of 9. It covers a broad range of outings. Ben Nevis itself get five routes. You also get vital information on the complicated bearing and distances necessary to get off the summit in bad visibility.

In short, a book with all the gen needed to get the most out of your time in this brilliant location.'

(Walking World Ireland magazine / September 2007)

'A better title for this book might have been The Bumper Fun Book of West Highland Walks. But hey, we've come to love Ronald Turnbull's quirky writing and so we can excuse his quirky title. It really is a bumper guide to all levels of walking routes, from the ascent of our highest mountains to low level coastal walk, and you can't get a bigger altitude range than that.

Maps are good and the book is easy to use with some rather nice diagrammatic signposting for the walk grades. This is a book to whet the appetite of any hillwalker, whether experienced or tyro. Highly commended.'

(TGO magazine / November 2007)

'The area covered by this excellent guide includes some of the finest mountain walking in Britain. The author has done justice to the area with his comprehensive selection of routes. They cater for people of varying levels of fitness and for all kinds of weather conditions. There is truly 'something for everybody in the audience' here.

The text is written in an easy-to-read style interspersed with many excellent full-page photographs and numerous shots and clear sketch maps. The result is a guide that will be very good for walkers contemplating a first visit to the area, but also helpful to more experienced walkers and scramblers who are returning to the area and want to try something a bit different.'

(Irish Mountain Log magazine / Autumn 2007)

'Ronald Turnbull is another name well-known to LDWA readers. In this latest guide he describes 100 graded routes covering the Grey Corries to Ben Cruachan. We know from his previous guides that he maintains a high standard and this book keeps up that tradition.'

(Strider / December 2007)

Without a doubt Lochaber is one of the finest mountain areas in the UK. This Cicerone guide describes a huge range of walks and scrambles throughout the area.
The guide covers 100 walks of various levels of difficulty, including low and mid level walks. In addition to the Munros in Lochaber, many Corbetts and other hills are included.
Unlike some guides, this is written by an experienced, award-winning author, whose level of details inspires confidence that he has first hand experience of the routes. Bearing in mind there are other areas of the UK to explore, the 100 walks here should keep even the keenest of walkers occupied for many years. It is the only Lochaber walking guide that you are likely to need!
