Thanks for all your answers, guys.

As ever, it's necessary to appraise a suggestion like this from all angles, and I only have the one point of view, namely, that of the participant sitting near the top of hte waiting list, with a route ready to go, thinking "this is ready for vetting; I'm probably going to get my place now; but some poor vetter is going to have to look at it very late in the day when, if they had it in their hands now, they would at least get the choice whether to leave it until late in the day or take a look at it now while waiting for those seventh additional route revisions to come in from so-and-so".

However, the vetters' perspective seems to be a bit different and of course I respect that.

p.s. Whichever of you has my route ... yes, I do know that I can't use Culra Bothy, but that wasn't announced until AFTER I sent the route in and, alas, my crystal ball appears to be defective this year. It's a good area for camping spots, though, so please just substitute "Wild camp in the Culra / Pattack area"
