If you plan to walk the Vanguard Way, you only need to print the route
descriptions and maps 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be inaccurate or out of date and should be treated with caution.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.
