Thanks for the feedback everyone. Any other significant route choices a budding BGer should be aware of? I've studied the information at Bob's site and poured over the maps, but I guess there's a lot of experience out there...

Chas - you mentioned about 40 significant choices. Would you be prepared to share some of those please?

I'm hoping to do a BG in 2008, and this year is one of experimentation and hopefully some support work for others. Early days yet I know!
