Bath to Penkridge
T o cover the 138.77 miles I walked from Bath to Penkridge I needed 9 Explorer maps.
One thing to note on this stage was the fact that I took a diversion into Wolverhampton. This would have needed the use of OS Explorer Map 219 but as I wasn’t originally intending on making that diversion I didn’t have that map with me. I did however use my GPS to sort out the route, which made me glad I’d decided on taking it as a back up.
Here are the details of the maps required to follow the route I took through stage 2 of my walk.
