When Wainwright planned his cross-England expedition, he chose a route which he hoped would commit no act of trespass or offence against privacy. It later transpired that certain sections of the route did indeed cross land over which there was no public right of way, and this revised edition sets out to amend those sections so that the walk is now either on public roads, public rights of way, or on permissive paths. The Wainwright text which covers those parts of the route which are no longer valid has been marked with a bold line in the left- or right-hand margins.
