Route and Accommodation
We have decided to go paper free for this trip. We have planned our route using Garmin Basecamp loaded with a GB OpenFietsMap, and Google Earth to check if certain roads were suitable. The overall route was then split into thirteen 70 ish mile days which will be uploaded onto Garmin Etrex GPS units (eTrex 20&30) for navigation during the day.
