GPS is cheating - use the map!!
Mmm, having no Gps, is like having no undies on However, I'm only using the Gps for reference ie grid-ref (when the mist comes down). I will be using the ever faithful Paul Haddon Guide Book which was used on the 2nd(1991)/3rd(1992)/4th(2007) crossing's. I did use A.Wainwright's "A Coast to Coast Walk" guide on the 1st crossing in 1990.

But sadly this will be my last Coast to Coast for a long time next time will ten years time, when I'm 62 I'm going back to my 2nd love which is cycle-touring.
