John Manning, Outdoor Focus Winter 2010/2011 (The magazine for the Outdoor Writers' and Photographers' Guild) If you’re new to campervans (or thinking about hiring one), let me tell you, Martin’s advice is incredibly helpful. Though travellers using other modes of transport shouldn’t put you off by the VW on the cover – because this book is all about the coolest places to stay, what to see, what to do, andultimately enjoying the journey. In the descriptions author Chris Townsend has given his opinions as to the relative qualities of the walks, glens, lochs, mountains and the landscape in general and highlighted those he thinks are the best the area has to offer. Includes: The guide covers all the mountainous areas of Scotland from south to north, divided into seven regions. Each regional chapter covers individual glens important for mountain-goers, groups of hills that form coherent massifs and individual hills of significance. However, this is not a route guide and detailed descriptions are not provided. The aim of the book is to inspire and entertain as well as inform; to show first-time visitors just what the Scottish mountains have to offer and provide a new perspective for those who have been before.To your appetite for a visit, there are evocative descriptions and there's a treasure chest of imagery

My night in Britain's most haunted building, where I slept in a room said to be inhabited by a witch - and took photos that captured 'glowing spiritual energy' Six years in the writing, Chris Townsend’s Scotland is a hugely impressive piece of work. A man known for his long-distance walking exploits probably needed the same kind of fortitude to pull together this particular tour de force. Venture on this 5-day escape into Caledonian pine forests and snow-capped peaks where you can explore a variety of different habitats, learning more about the wildlife and their incredible capabilities to endure the harsh winter conditions. Spot incredible species such as red deer, ptarmigan, whooper swans, free-roaming reindeer and much more! Excellent, an essential guide for anyone planning a dreamy summer of camping, picnics and swimming.”
