Bing Bagging: Central Scotland by James Carron
Requirements: .PDF reader, 8 MB
Overview: A hill is a hill… Or is it?While glaciation sculpted our land, carving out the glens and peaks we love to explore, mankind has had a hand in shaping the landscape too, creating his own mini mountains. They were not born for recreation but are a by-product of the coal and shale mining industries. They are bings.Abandoned in the 1960s and 70s, these spoil heaps were viewed by many as blots on the landscape and a lot were levelled and recycled as hardcore. Some escaped the excavators and, slowly reclaimed by nature, promise an off-beat adventure playground for walkers.Venture on to them and discover lunar-like landscapes of pink and blue rock, vertiginous escarpments rising to vast, exposed plateau and terrain that is truly out of this world.Not always easy to find and with routes often unclear on the ground, this fully illustrated guide with maps describes walks to the tops of 23 of the best bings in central Scotland, including the famous Five Sisters and giant Greendykes.
