I am near Cheadle,Staffordshire.It would need perhaps a couple of relays to get to East Anglia.
IIRC the notion was to send it south to tour that part of the country & then for it to head back up north.
There are a couple of yacf'ers not far from here who may wish to be seen with the baton ,so some handover journies may be of little distance
The last time this occurred on someotherforum the baton enjoyed a rather giddy route on the road around TheIsland.
