Our Route

And so, here is the grand plan. We have made some minor modifications since the initial plan, but we now intend to complete the 14 stages (and 1 mini-stage) listed below. We are staying in many different types of accomodation - from Youth Hostels to B&Bs, my house to Scottish castles and the odd hotel for good measure.
