Every Friday poses the same question: what am I going to do this weekend?
If you’re like us, it’s not that you’re short of ideas for weekend adventures. It’s more a case of having too many things rattling around in your brain to be able to decide.
When I’m not sure, I play it safe and head up to Scotland. It’s not as close as other places, but the combination of spectacular scenery, wild, open landscapes, and plentiful opportunities for outdoor fun make it a safe bet that I’ll have a great time and be refreshed for the week ahead.
Ordnance Survey’s latest guidebook, Outstanding Walks Scotland, is a selection of some of the greatest day hikes, short walks, rambles, and Munro climbs that you can do in a weekend, and it’s the perfect tool for planning your next escape.
Simply pick it up, flick through the stunning photography inside, find a walk that you like, and it’ll give you all the details you need to go and do it.
Best of all, we’re giving you the chance to win a copy of your own, so you can start planning your very own Scottish weekend adventures.
Read on to find out how to win.
Outstanding Walks Scotland
Inside this lavishly-illustrated volume, you’ll find 60 of the top walks in Scotland, including 25 short walks, 23 half-day rambles, and 11 full-day hikes which include the ascent of five Munros, right across Scotland.
There’s routes for first-timers, families, seasoned hikers and ramblers, and each walk includes information such as distance, expected time, public transport links, elevation gain, and terrain descriptions. You’ll also be able to find the OS Explorer map sheet numbers for each walk.
Plus, each one has a QR code which will bring the route up on your OS Maps app – and you’ll get a six-month digital subscription to OS Maps free with the book.
Not only all that, but there’s inspiring photography accompanying each walk, along with picture essays, sites of historical and cultural significance, and more.
Whether you’re an old hand at walking in Scotland or have never been before, Outstanding Walks Scotland is the ideal guide to help you get out and explore more of the beautiful country.
You can find more info on the book on the Ordnance Survey website here.
