Accessible from Glasgow, Carlisle and Ayr, there are wonderful routes up the Minnigaffs, the Rhinns and the Range of the Awful Hand, and around the beautiful Loch Trool. The book is most suitable for hillwalkers who enjoy wilderness and solitude, and who don't mind getting their feet wet or navigating through rough terrain. Although a relatively small mountain region, the Galloway Hills are located in Britain's largest Forest Park. The area also is home to a great depth of history, with Bronze-age cairns, Robert the Bruce, and lonely shepherd's cottages making appearances. The walks range from 5-27km in length, and include the 'Not The Southern Upland Way' multi-day route, as well as other ideas for expeditions. All routes are given a 'Harshness' grade, making the several shorter and easier walks easily identifiable. OS mapping is used throughout, and the book is written in the author's friendly, inimitable style.
