The chart below is a summary of these distances.

"The Coast to Coast Walk" by Martin Wainwright (no relation) published 2010 is a 190 page (size: 13x21x1.5cm weight: 385g) guide that includes OS 1:25000 maps of the whole route in small sections. Although each map is only a narrow strip the detail is clear and each map has OS grid references so you can easily use a GPS to find your exact position - provided you do not stray too far from the path!
