Our Route

We are going to start at Lands End and make our way North until we hit John O’Groats. We all agree that this has to be the easiest direction as:

• The prevailing wind will blow us there... It’s a thought
• Some will be getting closer to home everyday... and the rest of us will have to travel back to the south
• The first day will be an easy distance more like a ‘prologue’.
