I've been unsure what to do re: planning a route for the Ford Fiesta and have hit upon a low effort solution.....
I'm thinking that I'll plot all of the points on the GPS and then head to one by aiming roughly towards it and seeing which trails on the ground seem to head roughly that way.
Then, once I arrive, I'll choose the next point and do the same again.
I'll sleep when I'm tired and/or find somewhere (semi) suitable.
I might also plot bothies and pubs on my GPS and so anyone know an easy way to get all of these coordinates without individually plotting them?
This plan might mean that I only get to one or two fords but I quite fancy being happily lost in the welsh hills.
What do we think?

Re: FF route idea
Thanks guys, the idea has rekindled my enthusiasm for the weekend.
I can't remember the last time I just wandered off into the hills without a route.
I'm also hoping for snow - too much to ask???

Re: FF route idea
Bit of a thaw today, even the frost encasing BB Towers is starting to shift which means it's probably 20+ degrees everywhere else ... but anything could happen between now and then.I'm also hoping for snow - too much to ask???

Boo!
I'll just have ride my fatty through the gloop and pretend.
It'll not be unpleasant sleeping in plus temperatures in January though
