Guide to the format of the walk decriptions

The map is a reproduction from the Ordnance Survey map mentioned at the start of the description, with a link to Ordnance Survey's page for that map. It is copyright. You may print the map from our website for the purpose of doing the walk, but if you want to do anything else with it you need a license from Ordnance Survey.

The starting point for the walk is given with a grid reference and a link to a mapping site for you to locate the starting point easily.

Each walk is divided into a number of sections A, B, etc., which are marked on the map, and referenced in the text. At the end of the description there is a list of the grid references for these points so that you can create a route in your GPS. I have used 8 figure OS refences - for 6 figure ones leave out the 4th and last numerals - for 10 figure ones add an extra 0 after the 4th and last numerals.

In the description, distances are mentioned. These are distances from the start, so that you can check against your pedometer or GPS.

Printing You can print the webpage as it is, but it might be better to proceed as follows.
  • Print the map by right-clicking on it then selecting Print from the list,
  • Select "Print Text" at the bottom of the page to go to a web page with just the text on it, which you can print off as a web page.
