Remember that, with the exceptions of the treks outlined in the Prologue and the Tomintoul Spur of the Speyside Way, most sections of the trails described in this book offer easy-grade, relatively low-level walking on good paths and tracks, rarely far from most modern facilities. Therefore for these trips it is not necessary to spend large sums of money on the sort of high-tech mountain equipment that is more appropriate to remote and high mountain areas of the world. The mantra ‘think safe, think sensible, think warm and dry, think light, think economical’ is not a bad one.

Maps

This guidebook contains Ordnance Survey mapping of the entire Speyside Way, the Dava Way, the Moray Coast Trail and the other described trails, with the route of each clearly overlaid. Provided no serious navigational errors are made en route, or long detours from the Way are envisaged, then this is the only mapping that is required to walk the trails. However, many walkers will want to carry some general maps of the area in order to identify interesting landscape features along the way and to locate off-route places of interest. They will also be useful if you have to divert from the line of the trail to secure a night's accommodation.
