Review:

The English language "bible" to walks and scrambles in Norway. -- Irish Mountain Log, Summer 2006

This is a tome of biblical
proportions for anyone with a hankering after Norse know how.

From the Publisher:

The book gives easy to understand directions and descriptions to some of Norway's classic mountain walks and scrambles. Lavishly illustrated with colour pictures, it will be of use in planning a trip to Norway as well as being a useful on-the-ground guidebook when you arrive. The scrambles are compared to ones in Britain so that the hillgoer has an understanding of the technical ability required for a particular route.

Practical advice is contained in Appendices on where to get essentials such as maps and camping supplies; and also top-tips on how to visit Norway without breaking the bank balance.

In short, this is the one-volume book required for a first-time mountaineering of hillwalking trip to the land of the midnight sun.
