Seasons
Any period of settled weather is fine, especially when sunny. From May to October is probably more comfortable than winter. Summer holiday traffic could be an issue.
Centres
Many smaller towns throughout the whole length of Britain. Main stops are in the contents section.
Difficulty
The average of nearly 70 miles per day means you'll need to be fit, but no one says it has to be done in 2 weeks, and taking longer gives time for seeing the country.
Must See
The anticipation, the finish, the achievement and a better understanding of Britain, all being well.
