Preparation

In preparation for a walk, a search for maps and guide books greatly stimulates interest in the adventure.


Cumbria Way Coast to Coast Coast to Coast Path
Rucksack Readers Harvey XT 40 Henry Stedman


The Harvey map is at the top. Each day folds out for easy carrying in a plastic cover.
Lower left is the Cumbria Way. Again, easy to carry with a plastic cover.
Lower right, Stedman, has divided the Coast to Coast into 95 maps in much smaller scale with detail description of markings along the way.
We use the AARN Natural Exhilaration packs, http://www.aarnpacks.com. There is very little difference in what we will pack for the Lake Country than we packed for the Spanish Caminos. We won't need sleeping bag inserts nor towels. The temperatures are close to being the same. We start our walk on the 22nd of May where as we started the caminos on 14th of April. We had many days of rain on the Camino Plata and Norte:
