This guidebook describes walking and mountain-biking routes in Scotland's southern highland glens, the Trossachs - the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, South Tayside and Lochearnhead, from Callander to Comrie and Crieff to the Ochils. One of a popular series of 9 guidebooks for walkers and mountain-bikers, using paths and tracks amid superb scenery in Scotland's wild glens. The aim of this series is to provide the mountain-biker and walker with information on an intended route so they know something of what to expect. One of the problems is that OS maps give no indication as to whether an 'other road' is metalled, a path or a forest fire break, or anything inbetween. Many bridges shown on OS maps do not exist. Rivers are difficult to judge in size from the map, and a building may be anything from a pile of stones to a maintained bothy. All is revealed without removing the sense of adventure and exploration. Gradient profiles help to assess how strenuous a route is, and each hand-drawn page contains a wealth of information. The object is to save wasted leisure time and enable the armchair explorer to plan ahead or relive experiences.
Peter Koch-Osbourne has been walking and cycling in his native Yorkshire and the Lake District, and abroad in the Alps and Pyrenees, for as long as he can remember. On hiring bikes on a holiday near Aviemore with his family there was no information available other than the OS maps. Peter quickly set out to compile a guide to the tracks around the Cairngorms. The completion of the series of nine books took 10 years and he now lives in Beauly in the Highlands of Scotland where work on the last 6 or 7 books continued. Peter will soon be moving to Cumbria to be closer to family and friends and to re-visit his beloved Lakeland Hills. His writing activities have continued in the sphere of walking guides up in the Scottish Highlands but who knows what the future in Cumbria holds?
