My go at amending the routes based on new motel bookings as well as getting a feel for the tour is in a new collection. The only real change was in the Dublin to Vidalia day. The Quality Inn turned out to be in Dublin instead of East Dublin. Getting back to the original route involved some backtracking on not great roads so I took a look at leaving directly from Dublin. I liked the roads better than the original. Both are included as versions 1 &2. Toward the end I also began to modify the regrouping and lunch stops to better break up the sectors. We may want to look at the earlier ones for that also. Of course any sag plans we make will be modified as our bodies and circumstances dictate.
Here's my work collection

I've marked regrouping and lunch sites as points of interest so they show up on my eTrex. Not sure how your modern units handle them. I have not done the
gps coordinates for each site. In the past Ross has used those to find assembly points. That can be done later. For now I wanted to be sure the routes were feasible and in the process might as well add some tweaks.
I'm assuming rooming arrangements will be Dave and me, You and Ross, with Andrew and Tim in individual rooms. In the past I've alternated who pays for rooms at checkout to keep lodging expenses about equal. At the end
there's no big settle up. If that's ok, I'll work on that in the next week.
Now to bed.
