Yes we used it as a starting point, another of Paul's friends had done the 30 in our direction so we used his map, joined up with the possible map you had done and then plotted it. To be fair it was pretty accurate (I had your map in my watch, Paul had his map and it wasn't far out and being in towns it was quite obvious) Next year trying to avoid the A roads if possible the A34 was dire and went on for about 100miles!

If there's anyone here heading in the direction I did, my route was fine for most of the way, with the only real difficult-ish bit being 24.1-25.8 on the A5. There was grass to walk on, so I wasn't in danger, but it was tough going on my tarmac-loving joints The rest worked pretty well. The A45 not far from Meriden mostly had little pathways along it, aside from some very short sections that just had grassy verges: fetcheveryone.com/t-23810704 |

I would love to do it, it's just my sort of crazy. Sadly, my and the better half's work coincide to make next year's dates a no-go so I've set a reminder to check the 2026 date when it comes out.

The thing is, if I were to ask her, she'd say yes. I would however then end up with a 4 stone backpack 😂
