The full list of UK county tops and schedule is below. You can still view the entire day-by-day route from my live tracker here>
After much research I decided to climb the 48 ceremonial counties of England, 33 historic counties (shires) of Scotland, 6 former administrative counties of Northern Ireland and 13 historic counties of Wales. Confused yet? Some county tops were on the border of two counties, hence the list adds up to 97 rather than 100.
