Planning your Transport

To make the most of walking opportunities, and limit long and awkward travelling, it is best to choose two or three accommodation bases with good bus connections. Using a car is not always a good idea, especially when following linear routes.

Linear routes described in this book always start at the ‘awkward’ end, usually high in the mountains, where you might need to use a taxi, and finish where you can catch a bus. The introduction to each walk has a note about the availability of public transport. If no bus is mentioned serving the start or finish, then the use of a taxi will be required.
