"Leads you along the Roman wall with authority and style, offering both practical walking advice and informative and sometimes amusing historical background information. Our only criticism is that they haven't been doing it for years!" The guidebooks are impeccably researched and written by Cicerone's expert pool of outdoor authors. So for those of you who like saving weight (and money for that matter) on your long distance adventures, then this could be the ideal navigation tool. Guidebooks have of course included map sections in the past, but the difference here is that if you stick to the route outlined in each book you shouldn't need to carry an extra map with you. "This new long distance guidebook series from Cicerone has a unique selling point: each copy comes with a pocket-sized booklet providing 1:25,000 Ordnance Survey mapping for the whole of the route it covers. Comprehensively contained is everything needed to plan and complete the Hadrian’s Wall Path, and this publication is unlikely to be bettered." - Amazon The ONLY book/map combination you will need to walk the wall! - Amazon Stage 10A Newcastle Quayside to SegedunumĪppendix D Walking links to the Path from nearby railway stations Stage 9 Heddon-on-the-Wall to Newcastle Quayside Stage 1ěowness-on-Solway to Burgh-by-Sands The route description links together with the map booklet at each stage along the way, and the compact format is conveniently sized for slipping into a jacket pocket or the top of a rucksack.
