Although there are some shorter and easier routes, many of these hill walks are long and on rugged terrain, so are more suitable for experienced walkers. The day walks range from 4-33km (2-20 miles) and can be enjoyed in 2-11 hours, with options to combine routes to form longer days. A 3-day trek covering 82km (53 miles) is also detailed. 1:50,000 OS maps included for each walk GPX files available to download Easy access from Newton Stewart, Glentrool village, Loch Trool, Dalmellington, Carsphairn and St John's Town of Dalry Detailed information on planning, bothies and the history of the area Sized to easily fit in a jacket pocket
