Route review?

Post by Mugglewump »

Hey guys!
Me and a pal are planning to attempt the jogle this summer after years of talking about it!
This is the route we are thinking of doing which is a bit of a mashup of a couple of other ones we found in different places.

Anyone seen any glaring problems?
We're gonna be (wild) camping as much as possible and thinking 2-3 weeks:)
Thanks!!

You realise you haven’t started at JoG ? 😅
After Kessock bridge you can get down to roundabout with path beside A9
From the roundabout before Penrith you’ve routed over Fair Hill which as the name applies is a long sodding hill especially at the end of day. I’d take the A6 into town not as much climbing.
Whatever I am, wherever I am, this is me. This is my life

Thanks, I'll look at those changes:)

That's a tough hill after LLanllowell, south of Usk, especially so fully laden. I'm not sure how to avoid it short of changing to the Hereford - Monmouth route as recommended in the Nick Mitchell Cicerone guide.
Good luck, whatever you decide.
