ROUTE DIRECTIONS

From this website you can either print out these free PDF files or save them to your computer.  (You may need to save the files, rather than print directly from the website, otherwise the font and appearance on the page may be adversely affected.)
If you plan to walk the Vanguard Way, you only need to print the route descriptions for Sections 1-10 as and when needed.  To save paper, please read and refer to the Introduction and Companion on-screen.  We also suggest that you explore the options available on your printer: it may be possible to print double-sided and in booklet form, so squeezing 4 pages onto one sheet of A4 paper.
Please note that the three previous printed editions of our guidebook are no longer accurate and should not be used as a guide when walking.  You should also beware that guidebooks to the Vanguard Way produced by other publishers may be inaccurate or out of date and should be treated with caution.  We know of two: "The Wealdway & the Vanguard Way" by Kev Reynolds (Cicerone Press); and "Vanguard Way" by David Harrison (SB Publications).
Remember that we publish changes to the route as and when we hear about them on the "Latest News" pages.
