Wandelgids - Trekkinggids Cumbria Coastal Walk | Cicerone | ISBN 9781852844301
(ISBN: 9781852844301, 2007, 224 pagina's)
De Cicerone wandelgids en/of fietsgids heeft een handzaam formaat en de informatie in de gids is steeds bijzonder compleet. De tochten zijn geordend per streek, met diverse uitstapjes in de locale historie.
Start/eindpunt, afstand en hoogteverschillen zijn prima aangegeven. Verder kleur kopieën van de topografische kaarten 1:50.000 met de wandelroutes ingetekend. Zijn wat minder dan bij de meeste Duitse gidsen maar gecombineerd met een goede topografische kaart is dit geen probleem.
Daarnaast is er algemene informatie, een handig lijst van adressen en telefoonnummers van medische voorzieningen, openbaar vervoer, toeristische informatie, etc.
- THE CUMBRIA COASTAL WAY is a continuous 298km (182 mile) walking route from north Lancashire towards the Scottish border, and links a number of gems of landscape, wildlife, archaeology and history that are found on this often little-known coastline.
Starting at Silverdale, on Morecambe Bay, and edging the coast up towards Gretna, the coastal way can be walked in its entirety (10–14 days), or in sections, by people of all ages and abilities. Much of the route-finding is easy, and the route, which rarely climbs higher than 100m above sea level, has been designed to link with public transport.
This is a totally new edition of the guidebook written by two walkers who regularly explore Cumbria’s diverse coast.
