We found the Ordnance Survey's 'get a map' service very useful for planning individual sections. A year's subscription costs just under £20 and allows you to print at home as many maps as you like. You can plot routes and the software measures the distance, draws an elevation plot, and even produces GPS coordinates if you want them.
We used the Trailblazer guide book, bought from Amazon at a substantial discount. Packed with useful information, whether you do it as day walks as we did, or if you need accommodation in route.
We absolutely loved the Mirabelle restaurant at the Grand Hotel Eastbourne - perfect for the celebratory meal afterwards, though not in your walking gear! Suit or tie required for men. Pricey but fab-u-lous.
