This book is all you need as a walking guide and top tip reference. Its' colour maps and referencing to ordnance survey mapping boost you with confidence when reading through the various routes, informing you of the most minuscule detail to make your walk the most enjoyable.I found this book to be a great aid to choosing walks in the Lochaber region.
