New Books: Classic Munros Cairngorms & Glen Coe



Just published: two little books of mine called Classic Munros: The Cairngorms and Classic Munros: Glen Coe. These are walks guides to selected Munros. Not all Munros are covered so these aren’t guides for Munro baggers but rather for those visiting an area who want to undertake what, in my opinion, are the best Munro walks. With some hills more than one route is described if I really couldn’t decide between different ones. For example in the Cairngorms book there are two routes for Ben MacDui, Braeriach and Cairn Toul but none for Monadh Mor and Mullach Clach a’Bhlair.

The books are published by Colin Baxter Photography.

Are the photos your work or Baxter's? And were can you get them from.

The photos are mostly from Colin Baxter and Alan Gordon. There's one photo of mine in the Cairngorms book.

They should be available from any book shop or amazon of course.

Being a Cairngorm devotee, i'll be buying at least one of them. I hope you haven't publicised the nice quiet area to the East. The Tomintoul to Loch Avon area is one of the few quiet areas left in the 'Gorms. Oops, i've just done it!
