MAPPING & ROUTE PLANNING

[bigpaul]

i've been going over routes to my primary BOL, planning which way to go, originally its was footpaths and (very) minor roads, but thinking about it even minor roads have houses on them which will take time to either check out or avoiding by detouring around them, so i have decided to use a river as a landmark as this goes nearly all the way to my BOL, not actually travelling IN the river but travelling parallel to it over land, there are also woods on this route i can use to shelter in on the way, this way i should be able to avoid most of the houses, then leave the river and go over 2 bits of moorland arriving at my BOL by the back door as it where! comments please!
