Ha, yeah we were feeling good! Was the only day we had midgies too so stops were pretty quick.

Could you share your route?

Thanks I’ll have a look at that

Mark Beaumont did a GCN film of it - worth watching.
Hi route basically cut off the top right hand corner and went inland

Hopefully, this link works? https://www.strava.com/activities/384879­1067

I've also got the gpx's split into 3 days if you need at all.

Definitely worth watching the GCN video as @frank9755 says, really good.

What platform is the gpx on?
Could be handy. Is it turn by turn?
Just added you on Strava too

Let me know if these work and yes turn by turn.

Sleeper booked both ways giving us 4 days. Cancellation policy is good so thought better to have it booked and work from there!!
Booked for early May, fingers crossed on the Covid front

Nice one, should avoid any midges then too.

Fingers crossed still need domestic clearance. On the Beaumont route is there any non tarmac?

I think there was one road we diverted from his route. From memory, it was around Tongue and we both felt the main road was a better bet as this section looked non-tarmac and ludicrously steep. So yep, all tarmac.

Nice.

Does Scotland have a similar “Road Map” to England? Where might I find it?

Ahh - just realised what you meant. ie plan for lockdown exit. Don't know if it is out yet.

Nothing as of yet.
