Wandelgids Arran Coastal Way Rucksack Readers

Deze gids heeft een goede beschrijving van de lange afstands route met overzichtelijke kaarten doch zonder veel detail. De kracht van de Rucksack Readers is de uitgebreide achtergrondinformatie over de flora, fauna en geologische verschijnselen. Dit alles rijkelijk omkleed met kleurrijke foto's en praktische tips. The Arran Coastal Way is perhaps Scotland's finest circular long-distance trail, running 65 miles (105 km) around the Isle of Arran in a memorable week-long hike from Brodick. It's accessible from near Glasgow by the Ardrossan ferry. Famous as`Scotland in miniature', Arran is rich in scenery, castles, caves and standing stones. The walking is varied, from mountain paths to deserted beaches, from minor road-walking to boulder-hopping, and in places it is refreshingly rugged. Arran's wildlife is uniquely approachable, and its residents welcoming. Our second edition was thoroughly updated during 2017 with many route changes and extra options. This guidebook contains all you need to plan and enjoy the Arran Coastal Way, including: detailed description of the route walked anticlockwise, updated for 2021
