That looks a really interesting site. It also provides an answer to my question as to why the Britons would go that way. I still think that an attack on Cogidubnus and his territories would have been an attractive proposition for them. The most direct route from London would be along the Portway through Staines. However, if their priority was to eliminate centres of Roman influence first, geographically the next target after London would be Verulamium. After that, the most direct route would seem to be along Akeman Street to Tring and then down the Icknield Way.
