A guidebook presenting 95 routes visiting 112 of Scotland’s Corbetts (mountains between 2500 and 2999ft). Covering the area south of the Great Glen, including Arran and Jura, the walks require good fitness and navigation skills plus experience in remote mountainous terrain: while many are straightforward ascents, some involve scrambling and river crossings.
The routes range from 5 to 41km (3–25 miles) and include hikes in the Southern Uplands, Arrochar Alps, Trossachs, Grampians and Cairngorms.
- Part of a 2-volume set: an accompanying Cicerone guidebook, Walking the Corbetts Vol 2 North of the Great Glen, is also available
- Clear route description illustrated with 1:100, 000 mapping
- Difficulty notes for each route detailing terrain, challenges and hazards
- Information on maps, parking, local bases and facilities
- Alphabetical list of the Corbetts

Sobre o autor
After taking early retirement from his career as a physics and sports teacher, Brian Johnson found time for three thru’-hikes of the Pacific Crest Trail, a 2700-mile round-Britain walk, six hikes across the Pyrenees from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, a hike along the Via de la Plata from Seville to Santiago, and a single summer compleation of the Munros (Scotland’s 3000ft mountains), as well as climbing all the Corbetts (Scotland’s 2500-3000ft mountains) and the Grahams (Scotland’s 2000-2500ft mountains). He completed a 2200-mile cycle tour of Spain and France and multi-week canoe tours in Sweden, France, Spain and Portugal. In his younger days, Brian’s main sport was orienteering. He competed at a high level and coached both Bishop Wordsworth’s School and South-West Junior Orienteering squads. He also surveyed and drew many orienteering maps. He walked and climbed extensively in Britain, the Alps, the Pyrenees and California, often leading school groups. As a fanatical sportsman and games player, Brian competed to a high standard at cricket, hockey, bridge and chess. His crowning achievement was winning the 1995/96 World Amateur Chess Championships. Brian hiked under the trail name of Ancient Brit. Sadly, Brian passed away in 2021.Compre este e-book e ganhe mais 1 GRÁTIS!
