News from my vetters - the route is on!

Tonight I received my vetters' comments following my route submission.  Thanks to my research and help, once again, from new found friends the route was completely acceptable to my vetters.  I had made a few bloopers with grid refs, and on one day I had my direction as Southwest when I was actually heading Southeast but apart from that I am now officially good to go.


Here is an overview of my route from Strathcarron to St Cyrus.




Just want to say a special thanks to Alan Sloman and Dave Wood for the advice/assistance in tidying up my route.  You just can't beat talking to folk who have walked the walk, can you?

    Hi Carl, I just found your blog a couple of days ago, but browsed through it already. Last year I enjoyed reading some TGOC related blogs, so I'll follow your crossing with great interest. All the best with your preparations!

      Thanks Maria, I hope you enjoy it. This started as a personal blog, and I have become surprised and encouraged by the fact that other people seem to quite enjoy reading.

      Incidentally, I have just been over to your blog, to reciprocate. Finland eh? Nice country so I hear. Hope you are going to keep us well posted with your stories.

      Carl.

    Oh dear...
    If things go wrong, do Dave & I get a share of the blame?
    :-)

    Splendid route, Carl.
    You'll have a whale of a time.
