New SMC Munros Guide

New SMC Munros Guide


Postby Steve B » Wed Oct 06, 2021 8:40 am

Just received the new SMC Munros book as a gift. On first look it is a good update.
Although always researching on line I still like to sit with a book to get inspiration on different routes up previously climbed hills and the pictures are always good (and have a view!)

Seems like some significantly improved coverage of alternative routes, and bikeable approaches. There are tables of Munros, Tops and Furths in the back, and (hurrah!) distance/height gain/time for the whole walk and not just to the last summit.

Not sure mate, they did reply and say it's a work in progress though.
