Cairngorms, walks

Year: 1996 Format: 13x23 Pages: 96 Photos: with 28 excursions in the Cairgorms Mountains, in north-east Scotland. The Cairngorms range extends for around 750 square kilometres, and is the largest mountainous area in Great Britain. Geologically it belongs to the Grampian system, the massif located in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. A succession of hills that rarely boast important cliffs or easily accessible routes and are therefore usually ignored by hikers. In contrast the hills rise imperiously to the east of the River Spey, the peaks often snow-capped and veiled in mist. With cartographic tables in the text, in English.
