Customer Reviews

Not up to Cicerone's usual high standards
This book is a huge disappointment to me. The maps are crude and the route descriptions inadequate. For anyone planning a hiking trip to the Hebrides this will offer some vague ideas of routes but very little else of real benefit. Such a shame as Cicerone guides are normally so much more helpful.
