Isle of Mull walking / Mull,Ulva,Gometra,Iona & Erraid Cicerone | 9781852849610

Guidebook describing over 40 walking routes on Scotland's beautiful Isle of Mull, as well as neighbouring Ulva, Gometra, Iona and Erraid. Walks range from 2 to 16 miles and from short circuits to demanding mountain traverses, but without technical difficulties. The Isle of Mull is wild, rugged and great for wildlife spotting. Seasons: Walking possible throughout the year, although the winter months call for winter mountaineering skills and equipment on the higher mountains. Centres: Tobermory; smaller settlements at Dervaig, Salen, the ferryport Craignure, Bunessan and Ffionphort, the ferry point for Iona; accommodation plentiful, but camp sites and budget hostels few and far between. Difficulty: Few technical difficulties; walks cross rough, trackless terrain requiring walkers to be properly equipped and able to use map and compass Must See: Mull's only Munro, Ben More, and a fine cast of lower heights; great glens for linear walks as good as anything on mainland Scotland; spectacular coastline; wildlife.
