Coast to Coast Trail.

Just interested to know, would you guys consider the Satmap trail to be the Wainwright route ?

Sorry FrequentFlyer - I don't understand the question

The Satmap C2C trail does follow the Wainwright route in the main.

A few deviations to the Satmap version now exist, perhaps as a result of subsequent route amendments due to landowners permissions and forestry work.

The route from Dent to Nannycatch Gate should now be possible by going due east past Height 283 down the steep descent into the valley (Terry Marsh's C2C guide published by Cicerone); and a few years ago it had become possible to head north from Nannycatch Gate adjacent to the stream (this change is in the latest Wainwright C2C guide).

Past the top of Loft Beck, there is no need to go as far as the slate quarry road, just follow the dismantled tramway incline to reach the Honister Pass Slate Quarry visitor centre.

The route approaching Smardale Bridge (west of Kirkby Stephen) is different in Wainwright's guide, the latter being the route followed on the ground.

The Satmap route east of Kirkby Stephen is the Green Route (December to April) and misses out Nine Standards Rigg (details of the other 2 routes which both take in the latter are in Wainwright's guide).

The Satmap route from Keld to Reeth is the high level route. There is an alternative low level route that follows the river, as detailed in Terry Marsh's C2C guide (and possibly in other guides too). The high level route is superb as is takes in some of the major lead mine workings. The low level route is worth considering in bad weather or if carrying an injury, but there are many, many stone squeeze stiles to cross which slow the pace right down if wearing a large rucksack.

The path up through the Arncliffe Woods east of Ingleby Cross should follow the signposted main forestry track rather than the overgrown footpath indicated on the Satmap route.
