Thanks for your interest guys, Strider, the map shows my early planned route. Natural England is working on a complete coastal route and the red shows some of those section that are already mapped the blue is my attempt at a route using coastal footpaths and roads where possible, so far so good. Pdstsp, hope to see you then. Bigfoot, the plan fingers crossed is to be in Scotland in the milder months, I have also heard midges can be a real problem. I was planning an xmas break if I reached Brighton a week before xmas, however I will pass Brighton in the next few days...
