The first and only?

As always I can only appoligise for my lack of blogging activity though as no one tends to read this blog I think I should be fine. Much time has been spent micromanaging and planning the route across Easter Kinross which is remarkably tricky. No wonder the references mention that no one has ever walked across the region on either a JOGLE or LEJOG. Still, in future providing Scotland achieves independance, I will take great comfort to be the first, and possibly only person to traverse Easter Kinross on a JOGLE while Scotland was part of the UK. Although anyone sticking to the East coast from John O'Groats to Inverness may say the same, my route is further westerly and avoiding roads and populated areas as much as possible. And fording inumerable burns, hopefully not in a state of flood when I get there. Please check out a wonderful chap called Mark Moxon. Available on all half decent search engines.

Note on Route Planning

I have noticed how some books covering the end to end trail have had mixed reviews ranging from useless to too heavy to carry up to brilliant help. I just wanted to say that no book should ever be taken as gospel. If you are planning to walk or cycle the route or however, you should aim to plan the full route yourself in my own opinion. This means that you will invariably learn the route and help you find any changes before you go. A book published in 1980 will not be as accurate as your own map drawn in 2013.
