Equipment: Maps and Books


The 8 ordnance survey maps that cover the route arrived this week from the UK. Quite a nostalgia-trigger...first time I've handled an OS map in probably 20 years. They were such a fixture in my home growing up. I still remember the day when daddy finally bought the last OS map to complete his collection. He sure loved maps!

Funnily enough, though, I think maybe these Harvey maps will be more useful than the OS maps:


Two of these Harvey strip maps cover the whole route.


Finally, the best descriptive resource I've found so far is Henry Stedman's "Coast to Coast Path". It's a good read, with snippets of Wainwright's original, lots of good advice, and information about facilities along the route.
