Route Map

I'm sure that over the course of the next few months, the route map will be tweaked as we finalise the details and agree the exact road by road details.  I have initially incorporated 4 main off road sections which include large sections of each of the Great Glen Way and West Highland Way in Scotland and both the Ribble Way and the Westerly section of the Trans Pennine Way.  There are still some undecided sections (October 2010) and there are alternative road routes which can be run in place of the off-road sections if conditions dictate that it would be unwise attempting particular unsupported off road trails.  In total the off road trails total around 160 miles of the 1,030 mile route.
