Lands End to John O'Groats
Has anyone done it on a bike?
I've just been playing around on goodle maps. Lands End to John O'Groats is approximately 1850-1900 round trip avoiding motorways entirely. I'm based in Aylesbury. I'm thinking about 250-400 miles per day depending on the part of the country. But struggling to plan a route as there are so many things to see on the way.
So whats the best thing to do, plan a doabble route for the time available, then see whats on route, or plan the things i want to see/places i want to go to then plan the route around them?
I'm thinking the first option. plus put a few motorway stints in to speed things up a bit.
How do you do it?
Ideally i'd like to do it in a 7-8 days, starting on a friday night, finishing on the friday/saturday after.
