Hello all ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I appreciate this is probably something that gets asked a lot, but I did a search and nothing recent came up (with my limited technical knowledge).
So I keep swaying between taking a guidebook and not taking a guidebook. I have no issues with the route as it is obviously well-marked. What I would be interested in though is the variation of routes in places, and the historical/points of interest along the way. Also, the thought of lying on my bunk thumbing through a guidebook is quite appealing, and having sat on the shelf at home afterward and maybe even passing it on to someone else.
So the weight issue is what puts me off getting one (plus cost to a lesser degree), and the fact that most stuff you can find online, albeit the book would have it all in one place. I thought I'd solve my dilemma (weight-wise but apparently not cost-wise) by getting the Kindle version of the Brierley one on my phone but having downloaded the "try before you buy" first few pages, it is far from easy to use on a telephone.
What are other people's thoughts/experiences/opinions?
Thank you,
Dave![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
