Its how far?

I had purchased the NCN route guides for the West Country Way and the Cornish Way as these were the 2 routes we would be taking to get to Land's End. Once they arrived I looked at the distance of the route and realised it was looking like about 340 miles.

Originally I had planned to take a weeks holiday to do the trip giving me 9 days including the weekend either side but I needed one day to do the train rides all the way home so 8 days to cover 340 miles. This meant the 35 mile route we had tried at the weekend wasnt long enough. We were looking at covering 42.5 miles every day. This had me a bit worried as the 35 mile route was already hard work. I had a look at the route we had covered and altered it slightly so that instead of heading home at Walton Bridge we followed the thames all the way back to kingston and then home from there. That should give us this new distance target. We would try this new route the next weekend.
