About Our Route Notes

Our directions are written in a concise bullet-point style. Please familiarise yourself with the following abbreviations before setting off:

L left

R right

LH(S) left-hand(side)

RH(S) right-hand(side)

J junction

TJ T-junction

YJ Y-junction or fork

X-roads crossroad

SA straight ahead, straight across or straight on

SP sign post/sign posted to

R/W red/white waymarks

Y/R yellow/red waymarks

Compass directions are also written in abbreviated form.

Note that we try and refer consistently to track and path. A track could be used by vehicles whereas a path most definitely could not.

Walking times given are just that, they do not take into account lunch stops, visits or photo opportunities!

The scale for the daily route elevation profiles varies, so ensure that you look at the scale when viewing the profiles, and particularly if comparing one day with another.

We also include a small map for each route to help you locate your position on your main map and to give you an idea of the route you will be following each day. These small maps are NOT intended for day-to-day navigation - the scale is far too small. Always refer to your detailed daily route notes, gpx tracks (if using them) and main map when setting out each day.
