I pray it did, what an unfortunate place to have a typo.

Surely the authors haven't tried the old 'Typo on the front cover to stimulate interest in a new guide' ploy?
These are dark times we live in...

Agreed! Made me chuckle.
I am really excited for this, it's very well timed as well now, (dare I say it?) the midgies are gone.

Fimgers crossed, it should be out by them. Sorry, that should read 'Fingers crossed, it should be out by then.'

Ian / Richie, will it just be for "the Jumble" or include the stuff "o'er t' road" like The Essence, Scotty dog, etc.

Although it's mostly the Jumble we've also included all the stuff on the south side of the glen and any minor areas.

I think this is the situation, Ian will be able to correct if I've got it wrong.
There will be a stash of guides available at North West Outdoors in Ullapool. Both Dave MacLeod and John Watson/Stonecountry have kindly agreed to sell the guide via their online stores.
It may well be available elsewhere, I think we will be able to confirm this next week.
I did wonder if it would be more appropriate if the guide was only available in a few old school petrol stations in the North West, next to the counter with the fray bentos pies, the brillo pads and the thinsulate woolly hats. Not on Sundays though. Or Mondays. Or during the winter.
I think we should be getting the main stock from the printer early next week, so it should be available soon after.

Sterling effort, long anticipated and totally worth it, well done guys.
Laughed out loud at some of the descriptions and photo captions, the introduction is brilliant.

East coasters shout if you fancy a trip early spring! I'm psyched for a winter of training.
Great Guide well done Ian and richie.

I'm having trouble resisting buying this guide simply so I can fantasize about maybe climbing there one day.
