Re route, if you're heading west you should be well-placed to make it over gospel pass near Hay on Wye, which was potentially my favourite stretch of road from a LEJOG a few years back.
Ok, I may reroute for this then. I was planning on linking the Shropshire Hills with Wye Valley but I could head slightly further west and over the border instead. Not sure about going that way and then coming right back across for Wye Valley, seems to add quite a few miles. It may have to be one or the other.
I've gone for the North Coast to finish rather than inland and therefore skipping Dartmoor, however I've got Exmoor, Quantocks, Somerset Levels, Cheddar Gorge, Mendips, Wye Valley, Shropshire Hills, Forest of Bowland, Lake District, Cairngorms
(In reverse order)
Again, I miss the Peaks because of going West to Merseyside
Sounds great mate! I don't know what your schedule/available time is but if you can fit Gospel Pass in you won't regret it - I went from Monmouth to Abergavenny so still got a bit of the Wye Valley in and it was all beautiful....
