RAMBLERS' GUIDE - CONNEMARA
By Paddy Dillon
Published by Harper Collins
ISBN 0-00-220121-6
Price £9.99
Six books were commissioned in the Ramblers' Guide series, and although the Connemara title was delivered first, it was the last to be published! The route research was conducted in a month of strenuous walking based in Clifden, the Capital of Connemara. A final selection of thirty routes was made for the book. The enthusiastic assistance of Michael Gibbons of the Connemara Walking Centre was most welcome, and towards the end of the publication process, Michael checked the routes and all the information in the guidebook. The routes include a selection of easy, low-level walks, as well as high-level walks through the Twelve Bens and Maum Turk Mountains. The mapping for the guidebook was provided by Harveys and is based on their excellent Superwalker Map of Connemara, which is the most detailed map for walkers covering the area. The book is full-colour throughout and the photographs show off the scenic splendours and wilderness qualities of Connemara.
