Maps

Each route is highlighted on the relevant section of Ordnance Survey’s 1:50,000 maps.

The main route described is shown in orange, then any alternatives are first blue, then green, then pink, where applicable.

The small section of map provided is not a replacement for carrying the relevant OS map. For those who prefer to use the more detailed 1:25,000 maps, the map numbers for these as well as for the 1:50,000 maps are given in the route information box. HARVEY Maps also cover many of the mountain areas in this book – www.harveymaps.co.uk.

Grid references

Grid references (expressed as two groups of three digits) are given for the start and end points, and summits of all the mountains included, as well as for some useful points along the way, particularly where routes lack paths or key landmarks to aid navigation. These are six-figure references based on GPS readings taken by the author while on the routes.

Distance and ascent

Figures given for distance and ascent both refer to the whole route from start to end. This means the level of ascent is often greater than the height of the peak being climbed.
