Stefan Bogner, a German, is the author of several quite nicely produced touring books, each suggesting some rides or drives * around some of the more interesting (at least from a road and scenery point of view) parts of Europe.
As it was on offer on Amazon, I picked up his book on Scotland, which is quite good consisting of a nicely detailed journey from Glasgow, up and around Skye, back to the mainland, curving up, then down again to finish in Edinburgh. A good enough, reasonably relaxed four or five days away, I guess.
I'll cut Mr Bogner's routes into BaseCamp, then - just as I did with the parallel book on the Alpine passes - I'll add in some some pictures, so bods will know what they might expect to see.
For a bit over a tenner, the book - it's a sort of cross between a guide book and a coffee table book, published in both English and 'foreign' - is pretty good value. I picked up a couple of his others when away in Germany and Italy, which are OK enough too.
* He seems to get some support from Porsche or at least the giants of Stuttgart are taking some advertising space in the publications. That's not a bad thing as somebody has to pay for the time and effort to create the book in the first place. The advertising is harmless and doesn't detract from the purpose of the book... nor do you have to buy the car.
