Route Planning

We have had several meetings so far on route planning. The first day is easy (to plan). We will be starting in Thurso, as we don't arrive there till late at night and so we will start the journey from Thurso on Thursday 18th August. We will cycle to John O'Groats before starting the 120 miles to Inverness.

After here it gets more tricky. We plan to head down the A9 to Perth and then cut down towards Carlisle. From here we hug the edge of the Lakes and squeeze past Liverpool to stay in Warrington. We then head via Shrewsbury and down to Worcester, where we pick up the A38 all the way into Devon.

The last stretch depends on how we are feeling (probably a bit tired...) and so will either be on the A30 or if we can face it some of the smaller (less busy) roads. All going well we plan to arrive in Lands End on Wednesday 24th August....
