Looking forward to it but any advice especially if anyone has used the Sustrans book, would be welcome! :0)

Ta.

Hey,
How did it go, how was all the routes :-)?

Re: Cicerone End to End route review

Hey Phil,
Great reading. My wife and I are just about to take on LEJOG in 3 weeks time and are debating whether to follow NCN or the Cicerone route. We have got 19 days and will be unsupported with camping/cooking all the way. We are cycling on road bikes with 25mm heavy tires and a set of panniers each. Did you have to tackle much off-road, gravel or crazy stoney paths?

Regards your 3 amendments;
1. North of Glasgow, we will find the NCN route, so we can visit relatives in Kingussie, thus avoiding the stretch from Fort William

2. I just found your rides on Strava, I suppose that is what you did and I can just copy that stretch :-)? Only around 10km right?

3. Turn left down Aikengill Rd?

Anything else you'd like to add :-)

Thanks for all your comments
