I think you need to give us a bit more info, if you want some real suggestions.ÌýThings like;-

  • when you say you'll take 9 days, are you hoping to stop for a day or two in places that interest you [if so, what is of interest], or are you intending to do say 100 miles a day [to give an afternoon/morning at a location]Ìýand do overnight stops all the way
  • Route - I think you need to flesh it out a bit, so people get a feel for where you think you want to go

Suggestion - get some detailed road atlases if you want to avoid motorways [I bought some through Amazon]ÌýHope this helps
