How far south did the early editions go?
et avec John, excellent lecteur de road-book, on s'en est sortis sans erreur
I've seen scans of route sheets from that era that were basically a list of towns.
1997, was epping forest youth hostel. Rocco was there offering kind words in his own way!!!

I live in Sheffield, so the South Yorkshire start interests me as a possible DIY.

The 'best' route between London and Edinburgh is open to debate, so I'll open a thread on it.
