Text and maps

There are 27 stages, each covered by maps drawn to a scale of 1:100,000. These maps have been produced specially for this guide and combined with the detailed stage descriptions and high standard of waymarking it is possible to follow the route without the expense or weight of carrying a large number of other maps. Take care however as the route described here does not always exactly follow the waymarked route.

All places on the maps are shown in bold in the text. The abbreviation ‘sp’ in the text indicates a signpost. Distances shown are cumulative within each stage. For each city, town or village passed an indication is given of the facilities available (accommodation, refreshments, YH, camping, tourist office, cycle shop, station) when the guide was written. This information is also summarised in Appendix B. This list is neither exhaustive nor does it guarantee that establishments are still in business. No attempt has been made to list all such facilities as this would require another book the same size as this one. For a full listing of accommodation, contact local tourist offices or look online. Tourist offices are listed in Appendix C.
