FOLD-OUT TOURING MAP (inside back cover):
The German Underground Military Hospital is now generally advertised under the new name of "Jersey War Tunnels". In the north of the island, the road labelled C100 (just to the right of La Mare Vineyard) is incorrectly named and should have been labelled C103.

STATE OF WALKS
Some of the routes described in the book are maintained by the States of Jersey. However, paths and tracks can very quickly become overgrown, especially in spring and early summer when rainy spells alternate with dry, sunny periods. This is particularly so for those routes which are not in constant use. (However, you are always likely to find the main coastal path free from any obstructions as it is probably the most popular on the island.)

On a visit in May 2008 we came across workmen clearing the path from Beau Port to Corbière (Walk 2), making for easy and comfortable walking. In contrast to this, the waymark described on page 38 (Walk 5) was practically invisible beneath a cloak of undergrowth and the path itself was much overgrown. Obviously the situation can be completely different from one month to the next depending on how recently the States authorities have maintained a route. Please be aware of this if you come across a path described in the book which is currently difficult to use. (Sunflower, June 2008)
