Nico has stated that he will only shadow travel a few hundred miles at a time to be safe. How will he manage this? He could head east, practically circumnavigating the entire planet, crossing the pacific between Russia and Canada. This route not only would waste time, it would be them in the "land beyond the gods", which seems a bad idea to me.

They could head to the northern most tip of the UK, and cross to Iceland, then head west. This is a 600-700 mile jump. More than a few hundred, but likely manageable. However, it is almost as far north as the Alaska route, which again means being beyond help from the gods.

I just keep thinking how bad it would be to end up with a 40 foot statue tied to you in the middle of the ocean, with no Percy to help. Rick seems to like bad situations.
