Let’s get something straight: this won’t be a traditional hiking guide. Scotland already has brilliant ones, and I’d never pretend to compete with the sheer depth of the Walk Highlands, Steven Fallon, or Munro Map. If you want a blow-by-blow navigation or elevation profiles, those are the places to go.

What’s missing, though, is the lens of the traveller in a campervan. Where do we park overnight that keeps communities on side? How do we arrive late at a trailhead without causing hassle? How do we respect both the land and the people who call these glens home? These are the details that can make or break a trip, not just whether you reach the cairn.

That’s where this series hopes to step in. It’s not about telling you the “best” way up a Munro. It’s about offering a resource that balances practical campervan advice with slow travel principles. Think parking notes alongside stories of the land. Tips for finding sustainable supplies alongside reflections on what it means to walk gently here.

And here’s the truth: it’s vulnerable, too. Opening this up means inviting critique and correction. I’ll miss things. I’ll learn things. And that’s okay. Because I don’t want this to be a closed, finalised book, it’s meant to be a conversation, a resource that grows stronger with your input.

So no, this won’t be a guidebook. But it might be something better: a living, breathing archive of how we can travel the Munros with care, one summit and one considerate stop/step at a time.

And this is where you come in:

Much of the most valuable information won’t come from me at all; it’ll come from you.

The stories, tips, and lessons that never make it into official guides are the ones that matter most here. Whether it’s a quiet lay-by you’ve parked in without issue, a welcoming café that supports walkers, or a hard-earned lesson about respecting fragile paths, share it.

Your input will shape this series as it unfolds, helping to create something you simply can’t find in a book: a collective map of experience, insight, and respect for Scotland’s wild places.
