Here's a collection of links to sites you may find useful when planning your own walk, as well as a selection of other people's End-to-End websites.

You don't want to carry too many books on your journey, but the following might help you with the planning stages. I can particularly recommend the first two as excellent starting points.
Planning Your Own Walk
If you're planning your own walk, you might find the following links useful. Also, make sure you check out the list of other walkers' accounts below, as they're really useful too.
Clubs
You don't have to join a club or register your walk, but if you'd like an official certificate proving that you've done your walk, the following links might be useful.
