‘I LOVE this guidebook to the GR54. The glossy dark blue cover looks tough enough to withstand being drenched and sat on and the inside is immediately appealing. Kev Reynolds has done another brilliant job to entice his readers to the dramatic area.

The first part includes the usual but very useful information about trekking in the Alps. The main part of the book describes each stage clearly in his unique style, and the route descriptions and little maps of each stage are very clear with just the right amount of detail.

If I were lifted to a desert island, Kev Reynold’s guides would sit well alongside The Bible and Shakespeare and survive being washed ashore as well!’
