Route Information

map.gif (10079 bytes)The air route will follow a course avoiding major towns and cities, airports, aerodromes, danger areas, military air training areas and sea crossings with the exception of the Bristol Channel. The route will also be planned to maximise the use of motorways and trunk roads by the Ground Support Teams. In very broad outline, the route will track from Land’s End via Bridgwater to Avonmouth, up the Welsh border to the east of Liverpool, north to Kendal, east of Carlisle, east of Stirling, west of Perth and then following the A9 all the way to John O’Groats.
