'Here is a very useful pocket-sized guidebook for anyone planning to follow all or part of the 150-mile route of this 'unofficial' long-distance trail.'

The Northumbrian Aug/Sep 2009

'This is a welcome update to the first edition from 2004 with better route descriptions, extra stops to reduce some lengthy days and with around 500 GPS waypoints. I’ve walked a number of the sections and can vouch for the accuracy of the descriptions and the splendour of the route.
Each day has a detailed map, profile and excellent route descriptions with times and heights.'

Justin Gutmann, Strider Aug 2009
