The West Highland Way is the first and most famous of Scotland's long-distance walks. It begins on the outskirts of Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, then goes through Scotland's first national park, along the shores of its largest loch. Loch Lomond forms a water-bridge spanning the lowlands and the highlands, with unique geology and wildlife. After 95 miles of superb scenery, the Way ends in Fort William, at the foot of Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain. This guide contains a full colour fold-down map showing the whole route, with summaries of distance, terrain and where to find food and drink. Offering a concise background on the walk and the local wildlife, it also has information about side-trips and mountains including Ben Lomond and Ben Nevis. There is planning information for travel by car, train, bus or plane and a special section of notes for novices and checklists of equipment.

At 5896 metres (nearly four miles) above sea level, the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest point on earth which can be reached by ordinary people. Any walker with enough stamina and determination may be able to reach "the roof of Africa". This book offers practical advice on preparing yourself, planning your trip to Tanzania, and choosing your equipment. Success is not guaranteed, as the huge altitude gain makes it hard to acclimatize, but the author offers advice on preventing and managing Acute Mountain Sickness based on medical research and her own experience of two ascents. This is a mountain of contrasts and extremes. You walk from tropical rain forest into arctic conditions through a landscape formed by ice and fire. Descriptions of the two most popular walking routes (Marangu and Machame) are illustrated with detailed mapping, altitude profiles and many photographs. Other sections cover the habitats and wildlife, history and local culture, and are valid for all ascent routes.
