Some rejigging: official figures were adjusted for the A road route up the
Kirkstone Pass (saved 1 mile and 100 ft). Phillip's Caledonian canal route to
Invergarry made no difference.
So official route totals:
986 miles
67840 ft ascent
68040 ft descent
Individuals:
Simon, 1027 miles (various detours mainly around Bristol)
Phillip S: 1037 miles (mostly same as Simon, but with some additions for Glastonbury to Wells and the Greystoke to Ivegill mystery)
Mark: 991 miles (trusty GPS wins the navigation award, and planning the route helped)
Nigel and Dave H: somewhere in between.
The following deserve special mention:
Dave B, days 1-4, 263 miles
Frank "the taxi", doing countless trips from Combe Lancey to the Lamb Inn where we had supper also with Gill and Pam (sorry no picture).
Nigel's mum, providing high tea during the rain storm over Ashcott.
Roy and Megan, lunch at Almondsbury Garden Centre (sorry no picture).
