John O'Groats to Lands End
Discussion
Hi
Did a search for this but didn't find much.
A friend and I are thinking about cycling John O'Groats to Lands End at some point next spring, which shall give us plenty of time to prepare.
There are lots of good websites to help with the planning of it, however, I wondered if anyone on here had done it?
We were thinking of aiming for about 12 days this averages out at around 70 miles a day which sounds feesable (we are both around 25).
Want a team of at least 4 people to make it safe and share the burden.
So good idea or just stupid...?

this quote came from a girl in our office as one of our colleagues is doing LE to JOG, she replied with

Haha! What an idiot? Is she attractive though? She sounds like rather perfect bait...this quote came from a girl in our office as one of our colleagues is doing LE to JOG, she replied with

There's quite a few threads on it if you use the search term LEJOG. I've not done it but there a few on here that have.
For more information than you could ever want to know, the CTC website has a sub forum just for LEJOG. Grow a beard if you're going to venture in there though.
Yeah I have spotted CTC so think I will buy their pack. For more information than you could ever want to know, the CTC website has a sub forum just for LEJOG. Grow a beard if you're going to venture in there though.
Thanks for the tip.
William Weir co-ordinates the entries for the 4d20h and the 7 day audax versions, as well as the 20 day version. He has route sheets, and if you contact him, I suspect he´ll share. It may be worth putting together a bunch of options in case you get bored doing it over a longer period.
