The outlined route will have to be adjusted to avoid motorways and dual carriage ways, this will effect the distances for each leg. Also some of the terrain could slow us down at times.
We will be helped in our endeavours by a volunteer support team (Mark Lancaster and Danny Lowther) who will be backing us up by carrying kit and spare equipment in a camper van.
