Jenny, yes I have the postcard!
Hope you're not too sore jelly. Last time I face planted, I broke my nose, so I'm quite cautious these days.

Yeah not looking forward to the M5! Do we run up the hard shoulder or what? Sounds jolly dangerous...

Take care on the M5!

I haven't looked at the LEJOG route, as I'm on the WCP, but I must say that I am surprised that they have sent you up the M5 rather than planning a route that is a bit more true to what "real" walkers/runners/cyclists would do. Has there been any comment on that on the FB group?

(On the WCP, we are often on footpaths that are not even covered by streetview, so they seem to have taken some care plotting the route.)

I haven’t seen any comments about it but I’m surprised too. Our toute is hardly picturesque! I suppose it’s easier to plot or something? I certainly wouldn’t want to do it IRL

Sushi.
I’ve seen a different company that do a lejog on a route that you’d IRL and it’s around the 1000mile mark
I’m sure I read on end to end that they’ve gone for the most direct rite over the other.

I'll take the 'virtual' M5 rather than an extra 125 miles I think :-). Its definitely not the route you'd do if you were actually there!
