This is in the Luxborough to Wheddon Cross segment of the walk. After leaving Luxborough we note that The Coleridge Way directions show an ascent of 685 metre in this section and an entry just after Newcombe Farm that says "Go through the gate into the next field. At this point the OS map and reality are not in agreement!" As we did not rely on the Ordnance Survey maps but kept to the web directions (part of the point of the walk) and a trusty compass we cannot comment on the maps--but we can say that the language regarding directions in the northern hemisphere was often a mystery.
