Go write your own, post it up on the forum (in a new thread) and people will give you advice, hints and tips.
I would disagree dont post on forum keep a secret ur route but gain knowledge to what may work for urself! and besides only geoff gets to see his routes

I for one and sick and tired of routes being posted on the forum... Even if they are not that good overall they may have little nuggets of information that can be incorporated into other routes.......... So little is not common knowledge these days :roll:

I'm a newbie to all this, but isn't half the fun sitting down with maps and timetables and planning a route? Yes, sometimes it's interesting to see how others tackle certain bits, but I don't want to use anyone's route but my own, thank you very much!

With all this in mind, I have an idea for a vote ...

Don't talk about votes or else hopeful traveller will suddenly rear up and start debating which voting system you should use!

Hello. I'm happy with the default polling system on the forum, and, having seen the question, no one should have any complaints.

I understand people wanting to keep their routes secret. Absolutely no problem with that. I do not think it is acceptable to ask someone for their route.

I positively do not want to keep my route secret. I would much rather talk openly about everything I have and will do. I do not mind people pinching all or part of my route, although I would enjoy seeing someone else craft their own route. I made my route myself, gladly accepting any advice people have volunteered to give me. If people have seen my route and would rather not have, I do apologise, perhaps all threads I post in containing a route should be marked as "spoilers"?
