Land's End to John O'Groats via B-roads in a 1963 Riley
Discussion
We’re en-route from Land’s End to John O’Groats in ‘Riley Blue’, our ’63 Riley One-Point-Five to raise funds for local hospitals.
Nothing remarkable in that, thousands have done it on foot and on two wheels or four many times before us. Our ‘LeJoG’ is unique as we’re using B roads as much as possible and we’re navigating using tulip diagrams - no major routes or satnavs for us.
Thursday, May 9th saw us leave Land’s End for our first night’s halt in Trowbridge - after first dealing with minor electrical problems (no indicators or horn). Day 2 was plain sailing through the Cotswolds and Midlands before a rest day at home in Chesterfield. Tomorrow, Sunday, we’ll be on the road again, heading for Haltwhistle, intending to reach Land's End on Wednesday.
