Things are starting to move well now in some of the Stages, with plenty of enthusiasm and energy.

We do need some more members to get involved, so if you are in the area covered by this stage, and would like to get involved, please register interest here

I'll certainly be up for at least some portion of stage one, seeing as I live pretty much en route.

Great stuff Foxy, do you have a particular part in mind, what are your preferences?

Southampton to Bournemouth is the best bit for me, as I live pretty much dead in the middle. Wouldn't mind doing a bit further either end if required!

The Yellow Peril · 15th May 2009, 09:07

Thats great thank you.

I'll be putting a more detailed plan of this section up soon, hopefully we can get some more members on board and identify sections, and handover points etc

Cheers

Having just worked this out, I'm getting very nervous.
Some very unsocialble hours - especially for Devon and Cornwall and Scotland. Plus I was hoping to get the time down to 48 hours, so this may well influence Stage route plans.

I could easily pick up the "baton" from Foxy somewhere around Poole/Bournemouth and carry it to Dorchester/Bridport maybe ?? (Scribbler.) Mike.
