This is What is Being Used on the Path
2010/10/3
形式:ペーパーバック
I walked the Coast to Coast Path 9/7-18/2010. I purchased this book directly from the publisher before it was available from Amazon. I also purchased the seven Ordnance maps OL4, OL5, OL19, OL30, 304, OL26, and OL27 (at 1:25,000 scale these are nicely detailed and continue after you have accidentally left the edge of other path maps). The Ordnance maps do not show the Coast to Coast Path. The Harvey "East" and "West" Coast to Coast maps show the path (1:40,000 scale). The maps of this book are just under 1:20,000 scale. I didn't want to use GPS, but it appeared that about half the hikers had it as a back-up. On a related note, had I taken a cell phone it would not have worked in some areas. Two-thirds of the path is unmarked (corresponding to that portion which is within national parks). So you need something to guide you and the most recent edition of this book appeared to be the most popular choice. I made numerous mistakes, but greater attentiveness to the details of this book would have avoided all of them. This book includes a wonderful blend of easy to read maps, where to stay and eat, flora and fauna guides, and local histories. The hike was physically harder than I anticipated, but I surprised myself in being in adequate shape for the task. It also surprised me how easy it is to go astray (brawn did better than brain). That said, depending on the season there are plenty of other hikers to help one through. Other recommendations: sock liners (200 miles blister-free), I didn't use walking sticks but would next time, next time I would rig a waist belt for my daypack, wet/dry hot/cold conditions change frequently during a day so zippered pant legs are handy, I didn't have gaiters and didn't miss them. My book got soaked one day--those plastic bibs are a good idea. One pair of hiking shoes was enough--plan on some slop every day. I highly recommend this book and this adventure.

Coast to Coast Path
2010/10/23
形式:ペーパーバック
My husband and I have recently completed the first half of the Coast to Coast Walk with North-West Walks with our 26 year-old daughter. Our walk package included a copy of the Trailblazer book and we used this, with a GPS, as our only navigational aids. The book was fantastic and its battered and tattered condition at the end of our week's walk is testament to its importance to us. We also enjoyed the lovely sense of humour weaving throughout it. The book told us we would feel like the Shap Abbey ruins at the end of day 5 ... and we did!! During our six days of walking, we had a mix of weather conditions - we had to celebrate with icecream at the end of Day 4 as the first day we managed to end the stage with dry feet! The conditions also included storm-force winds at the top of Greenup Edge Pass, so strong we could hardly stay upright. We did have a scary 10 minutes when we thought we may not make it down, and it took us a while to get our bearings back and find the path down into the valley. The GPS way points provided in the book were invaluable (crucial, even!) in helping us work out where we were going when we couldn't see much in front of us!
As there are no good, current OS maps for the walk, the maps in the book were invaluable. The only improvement I would suggest is that it would be really helpful to have another copy of the same maps separate from the book that could be stored in a waterproof map holder for easy access. It is not easy to keep stopping to open the book in the middle of pouring rain. We ended up carrying our book in a map holder around our necks, but this was still a bit awkward, and loose maps would have been a helpful addition.
Doing this walk was one of the best adventures we've had, and we were only sorry to stop halfway. In the week after the walk, we often yearned to be back on the trail! The trailblazer book was fantastic. We couldn't have completed the walk without it.

Fabulous

One could literally walk across England using nothing but this guide. The detailed instructions are so good, it would be hard to get lost if you just pay attention.
The downloadable waypoints shown on the maps are a bonus. Use your GPS to make sure you're going in the right direction and to ease your mind that you are where you think you are.
That all being said, don't try to walk the Coast to Coast without a good map (like the Harvey strip maps) and a compass. GPS units do die (one of my two did), and if you get off the recommended trails (intentionally or not) the guide book won't help you.
