The Great Glen: A Guide for Walkers and Mountainbikers - Peter D. Koch-Osborne
This text aims to provide the mountainbiker and walker with information on an intended route so that they know something of what to expect. One of the problems facing the mountainbiker, and to a lesser extent the walker, is that the Ordnance Survey maps give no indication as to whether an "other road" is metalled or whether it is a mere forest fire break. Many bridges shown on Ordnance Survey maps do not exist, and rivers are difficult to judge in size. This text provides all this information, and also includes gradient profiles to help assess the difficulty of a route.
