What Reviewers Are Saying
Impressed by the sheer amount of information in two such relatively slim volumes. Outdoors Magic The beauty of the series is the depth and choice. Unlike other books, that compromise and short change you by squeezing into a single volume, this sprawls out like a range describing every significant peak and the many ways of linking them together. Not just a route up and down but full a la carte choice to plan the expedition you want. What I like is the balance between interesting information and details of navigation. I think John Gillham has got it right. voff-snowdonia.blogspot.com Sumptuously illustrated. South Wales Argus These books are by far the most comprehensive guides to the hills of Snowdonia National Park yet produced, and their resaearch and compilation is a remarkable acheivement. Strider This comprehensive and engaging volume features beautiful colour photography and route drawings. It's enthusiastically written, easy to read and informative. Country & Border Life If you were to lay down a map of Snowdonia, close your eyes, spin around a time or two and plonk your finger down at random, chances are you would find that exact location covered, in surprising detail, in John Gillham's Pictorial Guides. Britain Provide a treasure trove of information on every significant peak in the Snowdonia National Park... They may well be the only books you would need for a National Park crammed with hill country, from high rocky summits to low craggy tors. TGO: The Great Outdoors
