After walking bits of it, bits of it backwards, above and around it, and aformal ‘Not the West Highland Way’, Ronald Turnbull finally gave in… and walked the West Highland Way in March 2008. He still thinks not doing bits of it iseven better.Ronald has won awards for his writing – the Outdoor Writers andPhotographers Guild Award for excellence six times, in four differentcategories; and also for his walking – the Fell Running Association’s longdistance trophy for a journey over all the 2000ft hills of southern Scotland.He particularly enjoys unrolling his bivvy bag on summits large or small,and researching this book he has ‘bagged’ Ben Lui, Conic Hill and A’Chruach on Rannoch Moor. His previous books for Cicerone include ThreePeaks Ten Tors on long-distance and challenge walks, The Book of theBivvy, and Ben Nevis and Glen Coe.
