Itinerary - it has been fun preparing the itinerary. We worked on about 80k days, depending on locations of camping grounds. The net was a great source of useful information. The days are long. We are not in a hurry, and if anything goes wrong there is always the train! We want to do this though, and claim the T Shirt at the end! This will be the longest 'Land's End to John O'Groats' in the history of cycling!
By the way, this is Jack our fantastic grandson, and our precious daughter Kathryn.
