All these are incorporated into this new guide. - slimmed down and printed on lightweight paper. - 'starting out' section has been coloured coded and can be removed before departure, further lightening load. - The front and rear flaps will be indented to facilitate their use as page markers. - There are over 200 new colour photographs and the text, town plans and route maps have all been updated and revised making the journey ahead, and the options it presents, even clearer than before. The original guide, in paying equal respect to both the outer and inner pathways, struck a deep chord with pilgrims. This format has been retained and we trust will continue to serve the modern pilgrim along this ancient pathway.
