After an intense meeting involving multiple beers, a 5-day route has been established with an estimated overall mileage of 280 miles. This will involve traversing Manchester, heading up past Pendle and onto Kirby Lonsdale, Kendal, over the steep pass between the Howgills and the southern fells before dropping down into Carlisle. The final few legs will take place over the Scottish lowlands, with a particularly hard day planned for day 4 - not by design I might add; the landscape is pretty wild and the opportunities for sleeping limited when utilising hostels and the like!
I will generate a route map soon and post it up on here.
