Well, That's everything sorted, as far as fuel stops are concerned. Assuming none have closed down since they appeared in front of the Google maps camera, I have identified each stop along our route and added them to each day's route. I had been relying on Google maps and the Shell/BP websites to assist but when it comes to Ireland, they don't appear to have Shell or BP, instead Jet, Gulf and some other wierd names, for which I didn't have website assistance. Not every petrol station appears in Google maps or are sometimes just indicated in the wrong place. Having the ability to zoom right in though is a great help. Most petrol stations seem to have a white roof to them, so are fairly easily identifiable as you zoom in and along a section of road. It's then just a matter of using streetview to confirm what you've found, IS a petrol station.
I'll soon put together a complete route in Google and post the link, so you folks following the blog can follow us every mile of the way.....if you have nothing better to do ;-)
