Walking in Torridon. Unlike most of the Cumbrian and Welsh peaks, the mountains of Torridon rarely have clearly defined paths to their summits, but the many excellent stalkers' paths take walkers deep into wild territory and often provide a flying start to an ascent. Exploring this remote and much-loved area of the Highlands involves free-ranging over heather, grass, rock and marsh and this guide will give experienced walkers the confidence to find the best ways across the landscape. Covering the 200 square miles south west of Loch Maree and north of the Achnasheen-Achnashellach-Lochcarron road, and also including Slioch and its environs, and taking Shieldaig as its base, this unique book offers a wealth of routes of different grades and differing characters. It is also beautifully illustrated with Peter Barton's original drawings, alongside clear OS map extracts. Routes described include 11 easy walks, 11 long or high-level walks, ascents of 32 summits over 2000ft and 5 outline suggestions for major ridge walks. Walking in Torridon (British Mountains).
