All the hotels I have booked have free cancellation, so please let me know if you have any views on the route or hotels, as the ones I have reserved can be cancelled.
I know the hotels seem expensive, but it seems like its the going price these days, in this region.
There are B&Bs on the route, but it would mean only a couple of people can get in each one.
The above map is only provisional & there may be some changes before we depart in July, so please don’t load into your sat navs yet !!
