'Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away,
And after all, I'm only sleeping
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window.'

Doug put the sleeping scenes on the second day, so is the route Teignmouth, Newton Abbot then A383, A38 and to Holne ( where they stuck on the second bridge)? Or Teignmouth and then Shaldon to Newton Abbot.

From Holnebridge via A38 to Plymouth for lunch and the to Liskeard and Bodmin ( both confirmed) to Newquay ?

( again a 'redbox', I know a bit useless)

21;46c

could be a church or a chapel ( or something else)

In the abp ( adam bound productions) there are more distinctive buildings so thoughts about the route and buildings ?

Been struggling with these locations too. I don't think they would have gone via Shaldon, the road is very narrow.

Doug - how sure are you that these are from day 2?

Back to London; I think it's written on the windowpane 'British Home Stores'.

This first screen grab one is frustrating. It the sort of place that I imagine would look pretty much the same today. A large distinctive semi-detached house, a side road, then what could be lych gates into a churchyard. Then some houses right against the road with a barrier.

The direction is to Mere; so it's from the 15th ? And after all it was the Call Box on the map notated as a P

Fantastic work fl !!! Definitely the 15th

Also helps us confirm another part of the route. From Taunton it's the A358 South East (the turning they pass when the ambulance is behind them just before the Fish and Chip stop) to Ilminster, then follow the A303 to Mere, then Wylye......

The long and winding road;

It’s a work in progress but it gives some direction. Each day its own colour, no take numbers or even the start and the end of the takes. No ABP timing either I think it needs an update.

As you can see there are still many holes to fill the Albert Hall, especial the first day, are there no more photo's of the trip?

Nice job on a map. I was hoping something would come along to sort of tie it all together.
