Walking the Corbetts Vol 1 South of the Great Glen - Brian Johnson
25,90 inkl. MwSt
Walking the Corbetts describes routes up all 112 Scottish Corbetts (Scotland's 2500-2999ft mountains) south of the Great Glen, covering the Southern Uplands, Southern Highlands, Cairngorms, Jura and Arran. These Scottish hills are every bit as interesting as the Munros, and often clear when the Munros are in cloud. Part of a 2-volume set.
A guidebook presenting 95 routes visiting 112 of Scotland’s Corbetts (mountains between 2500 and 2999ft). Covering the area south of the Great Glen, including Arran and Jura, the walks require good fitness and navigation skills plus experience in remote mountainous terrain: while many are straightforward ascents, some involve scrambling and river crossings.

The routes range from 5 to 41km (3–25 miles) and include hikes in the Southern Uplands, Arrochar Alps, Trossachs, Grampians and Cairngorms.



Part of a 2-volume set: an accompanying Cicerone guidebook, Walking the Corbetts Vol 2 North of the Great Glen, is also available
Clear route description illustrated with 1:100,000 mapping
Difficulty notes for each route detailing terrain, challenges and hazards
Information on maps, parking, local bases and facilities
Alphabetical list of the Corbetts

Since taking early retirement from teaching, Brian Johnson has hiked the Pacific Crest Trail three times, completed a 2700-miles walk round Britain, hiked across the Pyrenees three times and completed a 2200-mile cycle tour of Spain and France. He has achieved a single summer compleation of the Munros and has climbed all of the Corbetts.
