The North Downs Way is the National Trail that follows the Countryside Agency's acorn waymarks from Farnham to the coast at Dover. You can walk along this trail following chalk ridges, river valleys and sections of the Pilgrims' Way. At the eastern end you can either walk via Canterbury (130 miles, 208km) or follow the southern route via Folkestone (123 miles, 197km). This is the complete, official guide for the long distance walker or the weekend stroller. All you need is this one book. It contains: - the entire route split into convenient sections - 1:25 000 Ordnance Survey maps for each section, marked with points of special interest - circular routes off the trail for shorter walks, enabling the walker to explore the local area - route information on each section, with colour photographs and notes on nearby features - background information on local history, wildlife, archaeology, geology, industry and land use - details of public transport, villages on or near the route with facilities for walkers, useful organisations and sources of further information on accommodation - the Countryside Access Charter on your rights and responsibilities when out in the countryside

By Graham Lewis
Format:Paperback
When you're crossing an undualting field and you can't see the boundary and the track has been ploughed over or trampled by cattle, how do you know where the next stile is? And when confronted with a "Private Keep Out" sign placed between two tracks, which one do you take? The answer is that you take this book. The detail is incredible - accurate and compact at the same time.
It also contains lots of useful tips on transport, what to see, etc.
The only downsides are that it's heavy and it's printed on paper so it's not much use in the rain. It needs digitising into the "Explore" App format that I use for circular walks, which gives similar information and has a live map that makes orienteering a sport that has "lost its way".
