Notes: Be aware that, while the paths
themselves do not move, over time it is possible for other details to change
(eg, signposts disappear or appear, new roads or tracks appear). Distances (in metres) have been
measured by GPS and thus are horizontal measurements, without allowance for
ascents or descents; they are normally accurate to within around 10 metres.
