Beginners Hillwalking Collection

While the premise of the book has a humorous side... what you find within the covers of this slim volume is a truly outstanding guide book.  Undiscovered Scotland

Pocket-sized with little room for superfluity, yet packed to bursting with concise information and route descriptions, there should be room for this guide in every couch potato's rucksack.  John Manning, OWPG

About Baffies Easy Munro Guide, Vol 2:

Think the Munros are too difficult? Think again.

Meet Baffies, the entertainments convenor of the Go-Take-a-Hike Mountaineering Club. Named after his footwear of choice [Baffies is a Scottish word for slippers], he is gifted in the art of finding the easiest way up any given mountain.

This is the second in the Baffies’ Easy Munro Guide series of reliable rucksack guides to some of the more easily tackled Munros. Twenty-five routes, each covering one main Munro, all with detailed maps and full colour throughout – this lightly humorous and opinionated book will tell you everything you need to reach the summit.

Reviews:

The second book is, as we had hoped it would be, more of the same and every bit as good as its predecessor...  Undiscovered Scotland

About Baffies Easy Munro Guide, Vol 3:

Baffies’ Easy Munro Guide to the Cairngorms is the third volume in Ralph Storer’s inspirational series of guidebooks dedicated to finding the easiest way up Scotland’s highest mountains. This volume covers the Cairngorms National Park with hand-picked routes that will guide you to the summits of 25 rewarding Munros in all corners of the Cairngorms Range.

Each route is described in detail and accompanied by an annotated OS map, full-colour photographs with the route marked on them and sidebars on particular points of interest. 

Named after his footwear of choice*, Baffies is the alter ego of experienced and respected guidebook writer Ralph Storer. He is allergic to exertion, is prone to lassitude, suffers from altitude sickness above 600m, blisters easily and bleeds readily. In short, he is the ideal companion for those new to Munro bagging, whatever their age or temperament. If he can make it to the summit, so can any couch potato.

His books are exceptional… Storer subverts the guidebook genre completely.  The Angry Corrie
