OS map with a line drawn on it? You’re second day is 105 miles(?) so would go through your phone battery if you were to try and use Strava or the like

Buy a Garmin, view it as an investment. It'll save you loads of time on this one trip, let alone any future ones. I bought the smallest edge that did navigation for the Badger and don't regret it.

Viewranger (it's what I use on Android) and a spare battery.

An old Garmin etrex with the route as waypoints s how i used to do this when I got to escape the house for more than a few hours.
