The route

750 miles across the South West... our 50 stops looks something like this!

We have put together the list of our stops, with timings and distances. We are likely going to add to these stops along the way, also bringing the total miles up - if we like the look of somewhere we have missed out on the route we will be stopping and adding it in! The times do not take in to account us stopping at any of the places, nor for any issues with our cars etc... We are expecting that with stops and delays that the times for each day are likely to be at least double of that listed.
