Media Reviews
Reviews for previous editions: 'The Trailblazer series stands head, shoulders, waist and ankles above the rest.They are particularly strong on mapping...' The Sunday Times (UK) 'I am very impressed by the mapping'. Backpack magazine (UK) 'A super, user-friendly guide' -- Gordon Forrester, Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park 'If I wrote travel guides I'd like to think that they would turn out like this one. It fits in a coat pocket, weighs 8oz, and although it had some rough use there was no sign of it falling apart'. -- John Clarke, a user reviewing the book on amazon.com Amazon
