Hi Jacquetta Thank you for the reply, in answer to your questions. (1) I can take as much time as I need. (2) I am comfortable up to about 12 mile days, with the odd long day if needs be. (3) I intend to camp and use YHA's/Hostels. How good is the waymarking on the Cleveland Way? Jack  |

It's a fine choice, Jack: two walks in one, with 50+ miles skirting the North York Moors National Park and a further 50+ miles of clifftop walking along a stunning stretch of heritage coastline. Taken together, the total length is 108 miles, and there is also an option to complete the circuit with the Tabular Hills Walk which would add a further 50-odd miles.
So my first question is how long have you got, and what daily distance do you find comfortable?
And the second is accommodation: do you intend to camp, hostel or stay in soft beds?

I have decided to give the Dales Way a miss this year, instead I will be undertaking the Cleveland Way towards the end of June. I've got all the maps and guidebooks, and have just ordered the latest one from Rucksack Readers. Any further advice that you kind people out there can offer me will be more than welcome. Jack |

Looking at walking the RRW in late September and would like feedback on the usual topics ... good places to stay and places to avoid; any part of the route that is not well marked (understand it is fully waymarked now?); is the new guidebook good enough for route navigation or will OS maps be needed; whom do you recommend for baggage transfer? We have walked the Coast to Coast, WHW and Offa's Dyke, and are wondering how this walk will compare for scenery, etc

The need for speed was that the first bus back to Fort William from Inverness on a Sunday was at 1245pm, not arriving until close on 3pm and followed by a 6 hour drive home. As 2 of us had to be back at work on the Monday, this was considered too much. A bus at about 8 or 9am would have meant us staying overnight in Inverness, a much more preferable option. As you say this was a challenge but the places chosen for accommodation were excellent and tremendous value for money. Only the last day was time constrained but the early starts were a bonus. On our second day we encountered 4 ladies who were just breaking camp at about 7.30am. They were amazed that we were out that early but they were taking 6 days over the route. Each to their own, I suppose, but the feeling of achievement was no less satisfying  |

Although it's been there for a while, I only just came across this gallery on BBC Tayside and Central Scotland's website. Some lovely images, but does anybody know who posted them? |
