1) Contents Page – Stage 17: Length should be 33.5km not 33.3km
2) Contents Page – Stage 38: Length should be 33.5km not 35km
3) Copyright Page: Length should be 909 kilometres (to match length on Page 9 and sum of lengths on Contents Pages)
4) Alternate Route #05.A1: Stage Summary description and details are identical to Stage Summary and details for Alternate Route #04.A1. The Waypoint numbering and descriptions for Alternate Route #05.A1 are correct.
5) Alternate Route #10.A1: Stage Summary states 8KM is saved. My calculation indicates 7.1KM is saved.
6) Alternate Route #14.A2: .005 Waypoint is a duplicate of 14A1.005. 14A2.005 and 14A2.006 are missing from page 134 and 135.
7) Alternate Route #30.A1: 30A1.021 states rejoin Official Route ‘at the end of the section from Brienne-le-Chateau.’ The text should state to rejoin Official Route ‘at the end of this section.’ Perhaps I simply misunderstand the text but Alternate Route 30.A1 rejoins the Official Route at Waypoint 30.026 and not at Waypoint 29.053, correct?
8) Stage 34 Stage Summary: States ‘The shorter Alternate Routes will save 6.5KM.’ My calculation indicates using Alternate Route #34.A1 and #34.A3 from Mormant to Langres saves 7.3KM.
9) Stage 40: Any reason why Soeurs de la Sainte Familie on Rue du Palais is not given as an accommodation option?

    1+2) Accepted and corrected in Lightfoot Guide Edition 6 Revision 1

    3) This is a consequence of rounding to the nearest 100m in the contents section. 910km is the more accurate overall distance and so the mathematian in me says keep it.
    4) Accepted and corrected in Lightfoot Guide Edition 6 Revision 1. It should read:
    “Alternate Route #05.A1 Length: 2.3km
    Stage Summary: alternative for cyclists or others wishing to avoid the narrow path beside the TGV line. After leaving Guînes the route follows a small, quiet tarmac road to the edge of the forest
    Stage Ascent: 54m Stage Descent: 6m”
    5) A rounding error on my part. Corrected rounding to 7km in Lightfoot Guide Edition 6 Revision 1.

    6) There are problems with transcription on both Alternates corrected in Lightfoot Guide Edition 6 Revision 1. P134 should be as follows:
    vfv1p134
    7) Yes, I has latterly decided to break the now long section from Brienne with a stop in Dolancourt, but failed to update the Alternate Route text. Corrected in Lightfoot Guide Edition 6 Revision 1.

    8) The intention was to suggest using Alternates #34.A1 and #34.A2 saving 6.5km. #34.A3 is a rather unpleasant option for those wishing to pass by Hume (LXIII).
    9) I will check it out for Edition 7.
