I t’s almost time to go! After a very busy weekend plotting routes, drawing on maps, checking kit lists etc. I am now almost ready to set off and start this big adventure. The first few bundles of maps have been delivered, more are ready for dispatch, and my kit list is now all ready bar one final item…rechargeable batteries for my camera.

It’s been a huge amount of work to get to this stage  over the last two months, certainly more than I ever thought it was going to be, but, dare I say it, the real work will be starting at the end of the week!

I’ll be booking accommodation for the first few days tomorrow and that’ll be it, all done and ready to go.

Oh, in case you hadn’t checked the route page lately, I’ve added a few figures relating to the route as well as a picture of the whole route. That should give you an idea of the sheer scale of this adventure; it certainly has for me!
