Well I'm afraid it's something I won't be doing again. I planned to make a trip in a hired motor home at the back end of the year, and take in the FSGW if possible. Now I'm informed that I need to specify where I will be stopping every night, and for how long, before I even pick up the van. That sort of takes the serendipity out of touring round, which is what I enjoy about that sort of holiday. I even thought to go the car delivery route as a means of getting around, and seeing more of the US, but I guess that's out now too. I understand the reasons for caution on your part, but I think it's going too far, I hate to think what these regs are doing to the tourist trade over there.
