Each answer contains a word (sometimes hidden) associated with the name of one of the 21 intermediate overnight stops they made - for instance had they come via Eccles the word included might have been ‘cake’.  The names of the stops associated with the answers occur in the chronological order in which they were made throughout the 10 answers.

Answer each question AND relate your answer to a stop on the March.

The 21 stops are shown on the map below.
