Report

Started at Hopegill at 08:32 on Friday the 16th August for a source to sea attempt.  Had my husband as support to meet up at various locations along the way to resupply with food and water.  Had a couple of very minor diversions to skirt round livestock fields and a short section of closed path (adding extra distance rather than removing any).  On reflection I would absolutely NOT recommend this route in summer - horrendously overgrown for some quite long sections in the middle 35 miles.
