Land's End to Ness Point, Midsummers Evening 2023

If you're reading this, you probably know what it's about.

Anyone up for doing it this year?

CastorTroy777, it's the now obligatory post.

I've booked the time off for June. I'll be there on the night of the 21st.

A few days either side doesn't make a lot of different time wise. As the 21st is a weekend, a run on the weekend either side should be around the same sunset/rise time.

It's been a thing for over 10 years now (can't rememer exactly when the interest started, want to say around 2009/10). I've done it in 2020* and 2021 and didn't see or have any touble with the law. The reports of law interest in my opinion are overstated. There's rumours on this site and other sites they clock numberplates at the start and end, again in the 2 years I've done it they've not been there. I think you'll be alright.

*Didn't do it on the actual weekend due to lockdown restrictions, Did it early july but to the same sunset/rise times.

Not sure. I think someones done John O' Groats to Land's End in an EV before

You watch the sunset at Land's end on the longest day (21st June), then drive through the night to Ness Point in Lowestoft in order to watch it rise again on the 22nd. Sunset is 21:36 and sunrise is 04:30.

Looks like the classic route of A30 & A303 has a few road closures on. The M3 also looks to have closures on. A12 looks set to be closed. Getting to London, it looks best to go M5 and M4. Not sure how to get around the A12 without going up the M11

With all the road closures, I don't expect to make it in time either.
