Customer Reviews

Walk completed on 28th September 2007
You could use only this book and walk the West Highland Way in confidence, as long as the weather was good. The sketch maps were that accurate. However I used the Harvey superwalker map along side this publication. For anyone contemplating this excellent walk I would not hesitate to recommend this title. Packed full of usefull information etc...

Very good
Just completed the West Highland Way and this book was very useful. The WHW is well signposted and it would be difficult to get lost, but it's good to have this book to see where you are (and how far you have to go!). It is packed full of additional travel information, historical snippets, quotes, and handy tips. My little amendment would be that the Cashel campsite near Balmaha/Rowardennan is no good for backpackers as it treats campers as second class citizens (second to caravaners) as you get stuck at the edge, away from any loch views, on an uneven (!) patch of ground; the showers were cold, and there was no drying room (the biggest crime!).

Can't be bettered!
Clearly written with sketch maps at a readable scale. Detailed information on the route, places to stay, re-stock or simply look at the view. Can't be bettered as a guide to the Way. Buy this with a waterproof Harvey's map and you're all set.
