1.0 out of 5 stars get a better book, 10 Oct 2008
By Mr. Keith Whittle "Keith Whittle" (Hull UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: South West Coast Path: Falmouth to Exmouth (National Trail Guides) (Paperback)

This is the second book I have used in this range. The first one was on the north Devon coast and I always had a sneaking feeling that the author had not actually walked the route. This book confirms it. Some of the descriptions are way of,missing out miles of difficult walking. There is no attempt at giving aguide to the difficulty of the routes or legth of time to walk them and so it is useless in planning your journey. You have to go to the path web site to work that out.You can make some big mistakes with this range as I did and set off on a 'very strenuous' section in Devon not knowing that. 12 hours later I got to Bideford, knackered! The official book I'm told is better but will not fit in your pocket.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not such a handy guide, 6 Sep 2009
By W. French - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: South West Coast Path: Falmouth to Exmouth (National Trail Guides) (Paperback)
I like walking with a decent map and the best things about this guide are the 1:25000 OS maps - much better than those in other guides available.

On the other hand there are far too many negatives. These don't include the lack of info on accommodation which you can get from other sources. But I too suspect the author hasn't done the full route - the roller coaster stretch from Mevagissey to Black Head is ignored while a rather lesser one on the way to Porthpean is described in detail. Some sections (the Roseland Peninsula) are covered in far greater detail than others that are of equal or greater potential interest (Plymouth and Dartmouth). There is no discernible rhyme or reason in the way the route is broken into individual sections. These vary massively in length and can start or end at quite random points - Wonwell, the start of Section 7, is about as remote a place as it is possible to get on this stretch of the walk and I can't see how anyone would start a day from there. The guide's structure is curious. There's not much info at the start about the path as a whole, but then a strange piece on Conserving the Coast and the National Trust pops up at the end of Section 1.

And of course like all National Trail Guides you need a big pocket to put it in. Altogether, not the best guide to take with you if you are walking this stretch of the Path.
