I'm still not convinced on the camping but I am actually considering it. Being close to home is good either way and I do like the idea of giving the hubba Hubba a winter test run. I could always pitch it and sleep at home
I started readjusting the route from the Whalebone yesterday and ended up starting a fresh. This year we will be heading toward the A120 and the Teys before crossing back and passing through the humorously named hamlet(?) of Hornigals (I suspect only visible on OS maps).
There WILL be some COR (only light and very short) and hopefully a couple of other surprises a long the way. For those that are COR averse, believe me, it will be worth the effort of the 500m or so I have in mind.
