1. This is the complete route that I took. I did this in 9 days. Due to these time restrictions I put on myself, Cornwall goes through the A30, and the Lake District is all down the A6. With more time I would have taken in the sights in these areas. The hardest areas are Devon, West Scotland....and the last 10 miles into Lands End!


Landmarks/Pubs for lunch/Sites to see?
So many, I particularly enjoyed Loch Ness, Arran, Shap & Ludlow.
