Hi,
I posted this in the introduction forum as well, but I'm not sure how many people check that one.
I'm planning a trip leaving from my front door in Cambridge the day after Easter 2008. I'm planning on walking to Winchester, then down the Pilgrim's Way to Southampton and taking a ferry to Cherbourg. From there I understand there are some GR routes to Mont St Michele, and down the western part of France, meeting up with the Tours Route around Poitiers. I'm expecting it to take 4-5 months depending on how often I stop to play tourist and how fast I walk. Anybody out there walked the route before? Any recommendations as to which GRs would fit the bill? I've found a site or two detailing some routes on the Cherbourg Peninsula, but they are all in French, and not very extensive, could anyone point me to some English resources?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
