Rucksack Readers are guidebooks to some of the finest long-distance walks in the world. With 60-80 colour photographs each, they make great souvenirs. Because they are field-tested and updated regularly, they are reliable companions.
Our rucksack-friendly format is unique. Each book:
- is waterproof
- has a route map
- is bound to open flat
- is lightweight (115-175g/4-6 oz).
