Walking Coast to Coast...
The route for Walkers is fully described in A. Wainwright's original guide 'A Coast to Coast Walk' (reprinted in 2003/ 2010) and a number of other publications - all of which may be ordered from Packhorse. Two new water proof strip maps covering the entire route (in two halves) have now been published by Harvey Maps and are also available from Packhorse as well as the 8 OS Landranger maps which cover respective sections of the entire route.
Covering a total of 192 miles the route for walkers is usually broken down by the guide books into the following 12 stages, although a number of these can be broken further to give shorter days / walking distances as required. Typical stage break options are shown in the table below:-:-
