On the road again

Its been a good week so far, firstly with Everton scraping a draw against Spurs and then with Monday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings all being good enough weather for a walk. The first two being about two hours and today for three hours. Added to two rounds of golf on last w/end and I'm starting to think I'm making progress with the stamina.
Obviously I'm nowhere near ready yet for the Jogle trek, not even up to half distance and not yet carrying any pack, but I've got to start somewhere.
I'm also heavily into planning, looking for a backpack (waterproof and not too large) and I've now put up the UK map in my office, and pinned the probable stops on it.
Seeing it like this makes me wonder whether Ive got the right route through Scotland, I'm planning to go east of the Cairngorms and down to Dundee.
I wonder if its better to stick to the A9 to Perth which could save days, but I'm worried about the availability of stopping places.
No doubt I will have to make a decision but theres still time yet.
