The Route

The route covers just under 1000 miles over a 12 day period, mainly on A-roads, but avoiding dual carriageways and busy towns where possible. One of the cyclists (Clive Shackleton) on a previous Discover Adventure trip has kindly provided me with GPS records that I have used for the map to the left. Also if you click the links shown in red you can view either the whole trip here, or individual days below. The trip statistics graph can be removed by clicking the top right 'x'. Thanks Clive!
