Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Guidebook to cycle touring in Scotland’s Inner and Outer Hebrides, with additional routes around Arran, the Clyde and Kintyre. This comprehensive guide includes 37 circular day rides and 22 link routes that can be combined to develop an island-hopping itinerary to suit any ability, taking in as much – or as little – of this spectacular region as desired.

Day rides range from 12–70 miles (19–60 km) in length, link routes are 14–179 miles (23–286 km) long, and weekend- to fortnight-long touring itineraries cover 66–605 miles (106–973 km)

Includes route itinerary and mapping for the Hebridean Way, a 185-mile (297km) trail that spans the length of the Outer Hebrides

Clear route descriptions with 1:250,000 maps, elevation profiles and difficulty grades

Best visited between April and October, when longer days and milder weather provide better conditions for cycle touring

Packed with advice on what to take, packing, preparing your bike, riding comfortably, eating and drinking, and getting to and from the region
