Most navigational mistakes occur because the walker does not look at the map or guidebook until they are lost! It is much easier to follow the waymarks carefully than to work out what to do if you lose them. The route descriptions and maps in the guide are designed to prevent you getting lost and they will be of little use when you are lost! Keep the guidebook handy, not buried in your rucksack.

The base maps for this guide have been derived from open source and database information, and as such have not been subject to the detailed checks that would be applied to a map made by a national mapping agency, but have been reviewed by the author.

The terms left and right in the text always refer to left and right of the direction of travel, not the direction of flow of rivers! Places, buildings and other features on the maps that are significant for route navigation are shown in bold in the route descriptions. Throughout the route an indication is given of facilities available (accommodation, bothies, campsites, campgrounds, waterpoints, foodshops, picnic sites, tourist offices), and at the end of the stage facilities are listed with their contact details. A facilities summary table can be found in Appendix B.
