Just got one yesterday - seems well laid out with OS map extracts for most routes

I have a few from this range and they are all excellent. I've no reason to suspect this will be anything other than the same high standard

More info on the routes covered here: http://www.v-outdoor.co.uk/products/mountain_biking/scotland_mountain_biking_the_wild_trails.php

It doesn't look like there's much new there, routes in those areas already seem to be fairly well covered by most of the other books out there (but of course, the actual routes could turn out to be different.) And it's not too cheap either.

I'll take a good look at it next time I see it on a shelf.

I've had a flip though at work, over-all the routes weren't maybe all as remote/exciting as the best of the Kenny Wilson book, but it did have a lot more detail in the write ups and in the route maps.

Give me a shout if you want a copy though!
