With just over 5 weeks I thought I'd better get my act together and finalise the route for challenge 4.
So thanks to google map here is an overview:
Day 1 - 26.5 miles
Great Wakering to Wingletye lane in Hornchurch.
This is a straight route that follows the A127 pretty much all the way.
Day 2 - 26.6 miles
Wingletye lane to Packhorse Lane (near junction 22 M24)
This takes me via the top of the Barking and Dagenham, Chigford, Enfield, Potters Bar and finally South Mimms.
Day 3 - 26.3 miles
Packhorse Lane to Watling Street (near Little Brickhill)
Like day 1 a large chunk of this route follows along one road, here it's the A5. Along the way I will pass through St Albans and Dunstable.
Day 4 - 26.2 miles
Watling Street to New Road, Farthinghoe
Here the route goes via Buckingham and Bletchley.
Day 5 - 26 miles
New Road, Farthinghoe to Stratford upon Avon train station
All being well I will finally reach Stratford upon Avon on Saturday. Here I will follow the A422 via Banbury, Ettington and Goldicote and finally in to Stratford.
Day 6 - 26.2 miles
The Shakespeare Marathon
Total distance 157.8 miles in 6 days
This will be followed by a cheeky beer before I have a long sleep!
