A guide to Scotland's 200-mile, 326km backpacking trekking route through the West Highlands from Fort William to Cape Wrath, for the experienced walker. This is a glorious long-distance walk. Described as a quintessential backpacking walk it is a challenging route for the experienced walker. The authors had six main criteria in mind: a variety of scenery, no long hauls over featureless terrain, use of designated paths, interesting geography, no high peaks to climb and a good day's walk every day with accommodation at the end. The route is split into 21 stages, many with an easier bad-weather alternative. The guide includes full information, including details of accommodation and advice on where to purchase provisions as you go along.
Denis Brook trained as an electrical engineer but a lifelong passion for the mountains has lead him to the Himalayas, the Andes and East Africa. He as also walked extensively in the northern UK, Pyrenees and Alps. Phil Hinchliffe as walked extensively in the U.K. as well as trekking in the mountains of Norway, the Himalaya, Peruvian Andes and East Africa, making several high-altitude ascents. Having travelled the world, the Western Highlands of Scotland and, particularly, the Far West have become an abiding interest.
