Presents expeditions ranging from low-level and fairly easy walks to ascent routes of Torridon's best 32 summits, including nine Munros. This work features 52 walks, many free-ranging over heather, grass, rock and marsh. It covers sketch maps that show the route, as well as stalker's and the other paths.
Unlike most of the Cumbrian and Welsh peaks, the majority of these mountains do not have paths or walkers' tracks up them, but the many excellent stalker's paths takes one deep into wild territory and often gives a flying start to an ascent. Walkers in Torridon have to accustom themselves to free-ranging over heather, grass, rock and marsh. In the sketch maps, stalker's and the other paths are shown as broken lines, the recommended free-ranging routes are shown as dotted lines. Most of the expeditions assume that you have transport, and those which do not require it are indicated and are written as though Shieldaig is the starting point. The 'climbs' often involve descending again by the route of your ascent, which builds in a considerable safety factor if you are new to the area and also the comfort and pleasure of returning over now familiar territory.

Peter Barton was born in London in 1921 and served in the army throughout the war. He attended a London Art School and subsequently studied medicine and dentistry and became an oral and maxillo- facial surgeon in Oxford. In 1983 he resigned his surgical appointment in order to live and paint full- time in the Torridon region and explore its mountains.
