Cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats is a classic challenge that many dream of. Starting at the southwesterly tip of England, we pedal our way through Cornwall, over Dartmoor and north along the Welsh border into Scotland, via lochs and mountains to the North Coast.
In all we cover 1000 miles in 12 days. Discovering Britain at cycling pace is an enriching experience, and the sense of achievement upon crossing the finish line is second to none.
It was an unforgettable experience and one I would recommend that everyone does at least once! – Derek Russell
