August is very much high season, so you definitely should be booking things ahead for that time of the year. However, there's no reason to painstakingly plan out your entire trip now, when you have no idea yet of what you'll be feeling like come mid August. Give yourself rest days while on the road (in my experience a must anyway; you'll be seeing and experiencing so much that you'll really need at least one day a week to recover and assimilate all of it), and then after your first few weeks of travelling use those extra days to plan out the next leg or two of your trip, always planning/booking about 1-2 weeks ahead. (You'll probably still run into situations where all reasonable accommodation is booked solid, but that just means that you'll have to be a bit more flexible with where you're going and what you're doing in which order. If you notice that happening too much, then you can already book for an extra week after, and then when high season starts to fade, gradually move to taking things as they come.)

Thanks for the reply. I'm defiantly going to do that, booking midway rather than at the last minute. Ill be able to use train journeys to do more planning. thanks again!
