LEJOG Route Info
After many unproductive (but enjoyable) meetings in the local pub a route was finally agreed. It is based on an amalgamation (Mikey, big word translation; merger or combination) of several routes that we researched.
We decided 'A' roads would be avoided wherever possible for a more "scenic" experience. Which basically translates as "longer" and "more hills"!
We pre-booked all our accommodation; a mixture of B&B's and Youth Hostels.
Here's our LEJOG route info.
