The new SMC guide by Ian Thow (and Noel Williams) just came through my letterbox with a thump. Over 400 pages, covering most of Scotland south of Skye - Inverness, with a third of the routes described for the first time. Colossal coverage, with, at a rough count, only about a third being in the "honeypot" areas. Can't praise it highly enough: what a piece of work.

As usual with the SMC guides, the description "scramble" should be interpreted very cautiously, as a lot of these routes - which include climbs up to V Diff - are pretty serious outings.

And nice to see my personal favourite "quick" way up the Buachaille described: up Broad, cross Cuneiform to the top of Raven's, finish up North to the summit.

Yeah, impressive piece of work isn't it... We have one on review

Agreed, looks splendid. If it's as good as the North volume, then I've got some terrifying days out to look forward to

Looking forward to getting. I know how hard the authors have worked on it. Hope it sells well.
