It is not proposed to amend our GPX files at the present time.

Further information is available on the National Trails website. This takes users across Rocket Post Field and down an accessible ramp to join a short stretch of the Cinder Track as the route enters Robin Hood's Bay. UPDATE November 2021: There is a very short permanent diversion at the eastern end of Mount Pleasant North, Robin Hood's Bay due to coastal erosion. The original maps have been updated by Chris Jesty. This type of antennae was the dominate mode of wired communication for much of the 40s and 50s before radio took over in the 1960s. This was for the trainphone between front and rear-end crews. These are clearly identified in the text. Many Coast-to-Coast tenders were also fitted with handrail-like antennae that ran the length of the water tank. The revised edition (2017) of Wainwright's original guidebook includes marked alternatives to his original route where there was no public right of way or where erosion issues have required seasonal route options. Between Keld and Reeth there is a choice to take the high level route, as favoured by Wainwright, or a low level route through beautiful Swaledale. From the west, the coastal plain is crossed to, and through, the Lake District to Shap, followed by the crossing of the Westmorland limestone plateau to Kirkby Stephen, a climb across the Pennine watershed to reach Keld and over Gunnerside Moor and Melbeck Moors to Reeth and Richmond to the low level Vale of Mowbray, before again achieving height across the North York Moors. This particular route also links three National Parks taking a high level traverse wherever possible. The classic route by Alfred Wainwright was intended in part to encourage others to devise their own routes, walking coast to coast connecting the Irish and North Seas.
