Walking the Corbetts Vol 1 South of the Great Glen
Cicerone Press (Verlag)
978-1-85284-652-7 (ISBN)
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
