THE BEST LAID PLANS...


I know some of you like to follow where we are on a map. I'll try to post maps as I can. But for those adventurous sorts who'd like to put these place names into Google Maps and see for yourselves, here's the itinerary. The walking miles from Monday the 22nd to Sunday the 28th are on the Westmorland Way, in England's Lake District. The walking miles from Monday, June 5 until that Thursday, are in the Scottish Highlands on the West Highland Way.

  2. Looks like a great itinerary. Even though you were held up in Charlotte, 4 hours isn't too bad. Enjoy!
