Customer Rating:      Summary: Harder going than is made out. Comment: The introduction to this book states 'the emphasis here is on shorter walks, suitable for half days, or for families.' This rather understates the difficulty of the walks. Sharp ascents are highlighted, but there are some very sharp descents where one could easily fall which get no mention.
In some parts the instructions are rather too brief or too vague. Telling you something (like a stile or footbridge) is 'nearby' without telling you if it is to left or right is of little help if you cannot see said item. However, there are not too many examples like this and in most cases the instructions are sufficient.
