At the beginning of each stage is an information box providing the start and finish locations plus the respective grid references; the distance (miles/km); the minimum time to complete the stage; the Explorer map(s); and accommodation details (please also refer to Appendix C).

Please also look at the information box at the top of each stage or walk to check the refreshment outlets. As will be appreciated, there is no guarantee that all or any will be open as you happen to be passing.

Also included is basic public transport information. Some of the accommodation, refreshment outlets or public transport mentioned may be a short distance from the actual route of a stage, in which case please refer to the Itinerary planner (Appendix B). Similar information (other than accommodation) also appears in the information boxes for each of the 15 day walks.

A standard feature for each stage and walk is the inclusion of a short overview outlining the general terrain and any particular places of interest. For every route there is a map extract from the 1:50,000 OS Landranger series highlighting features referred to in the text in bold to assist in following the route. The overlays also show the route without detours or shortcuts. To be on the safe side though, it is always advisable to take the relevant OS Explorer map.
