    Acknowledgements
    A number of people and organisations have given their time and expertise to provide details for the book and open up the trails, or contributed in some other material way.
    In particular, The British Horse Society would like to thank John and Pamela Bright and Nigel and Margaret Redfern, who carried out most of the survey work on the trails, assisted by David and Helen Kerry. The Society is grateful to Marilyn Leech for her drawings which illustrate the text, and to Helga Frankland for writing the North Cumbria foreword; also to Gina Clive whose painting enhances the front cover. The work of all is much appreciated. Thanks are due to Nigel Redfern, the British Horse Society County Access and Bridleways Officer for Cumbria, who not only surveyed, developed and described many of the routes, he drew the maps and enthusiastically co-ordinated the whole project. Without him the book would not have been possible.
