Walking in Scotland for the
Average Person!
Most guide books and web sites are published
by experienced hill walkers and mountaineers. I consider myself to be
a reasonably experienced hill walker and I am certainly very safety conscious.
However, often I find when I follow the
guide books I am confronted by an obstacle which either my faithful dog cannot scale or which I find
offers too much exposure. Indeed, I often wonder if the guide book writer has ever
done the walk! These stories are just intended to warn walkers of
any likely problems which may not appear in some guides.
This site gives my personal experiences and I
hope will help others, who, like myself, enjoy a good walk but don't
want to see a 1,000 feet sheer drop either side of a 1 foot path!
These stories are not intended to be used as
a guide, they just provide additional information, not found in published guides. If you are
going walking in the Scottish Highlands, please consult published guides for full information
and always take a OS map with you - and know how to read it!
I live on the East Coast of Sutherland so
most of my walking is done in Sutherland or Ross-shire. however if
you would like to submit a story of your experiences of hill walking
anywhere, please email it to mail@scottishhillwalks.co.uk
and include any photographs as attachments.
