Route Planning

Tonight we sat down and went through the basic skeleton route I'd created , finding the actual splits and making decisions on which of the "options" I'd hit that we would take. This brings us to the following outline route (mileage figures are approximate and rounded for now):

Day 1 - Lands End to Okehampton (A30) 100 miles
Day 2 - Okehampton to Alveston (A30 to Exeter - A38) 114 miles
Day 3 - Alveston to Whitchurch (A38 - A417 - A49) 122 miles
Day 4 - Whitchurch to Kendal (A49 - A6) 107 miles
Day 5 - Kendal to Abington (A6 - B7076) 103 miles
Day 6 - Abington to Pitlochry (A73 - A706 - A9) 108 miles
Day 7 - Pitlochry to Dingwall (A9) 100 miles
Day 8 - Dingwall to John O'Groats (A9-A99) 107 miles

Giving a rough total of 861 miles

There are some "interesting" profile details (I'm liking the 20 mile, flat , sea level stretch on Day 2 myself)

This means that P can book the accomodation over his easter break.
