Planning a Walk

This page will slowly grow to give some ideas, based on my experience or recomendations of others for ‘Planning a Walk’.

My blog page, Where to Walk will tell you the start of my journey, and my introduction to the lovely Cicerone books.  I would love to hear from anyone who has used their books from other countries.  Do comment on my blog.

A must: Check the weather!  Check the weather!

Other websites I have used include go4awalk.com.  You can subscibe to them for a nominal fee and download some neat little maps which fold neatly into any small plastic pocket you may have.  There is not so much detail as Cicerone and I have found some to be a little out of date, but they are light and easy in bad weather.  Horses for courses.

Came across this site The walking English Man when looking up information on The Coast to Coast walk.  Has lots of free resources and walks to down load.
