Thanks and Acknowledgements

As ever the team at Cicerone deserve praise for all their hard work behind the scenes, without which there’d be no book. Thanks to Brasher, Harvey Maps, Ordnance Survey, Pacerpoles, POD, Rab, Suunto and Terra Nova for their support. And cheers to Wilderness Scotland for the loan of two sea kayaks. Thanks, too, to everyone I’ve shared great mountain days with during the long research period for this book, including Patrick Cadell, Jan Coggins, Steven Hanton, Alan Hudson, Ross Kinghorn, Fiona Lowrie, Lorraine McCall, Steve Perry, Tom Rimmington, Clare Wilkie, Joe Williams and others. And, of course, much love to Pegs and Daisy for their endless patience, and for making me always appreciate coming home.

Warning

Mountain walking can be a dangerous activity carrying a risk of personal injury or death. It should be undertaken only by those with a full understanding of the risks and with the training and experience to evaluate them. While every care and effort has been taken in the preparation of this guide, the user should be aware that conditions can be highly variable and can change quickly, materially affecting the seriousness of a mountain walk. Therefore, except for any liability which cannot be excluded by law, neither Cicerone nor the author accept liability for damage of any nature (including damage to property, personal injury or death) arising directly or indirectly from the information in this book.

To call out the Mountain Rescue, ring 999 or the international emergency number 112 – this will connect you via any available network. Once connected to the emergency operator, ask for the police.
