This is a highly detailed guide to the Wainwright route, which offers complete directions for the 184-mile trek from St Bees to Robin Hood’s Bay.

Thankfully the author, Sandra Bardwell breaks this challenging walk into 15 easier stages, the longest being just 16.5 miles.

Her experience in the field is clear throughout, with her notes on places to view and stay adding a personal touch.

The book is an ideal size, perfect for rucksacks and is fully waterproof.

Although a bit pricey at £12.50, it does contain all the necessary information plus useful tips on the various Mountain and Countryside codes.

The details on local history and wildlife also make for interesting reading.
