Cycle from Land’s End to John O’Groats for Children with Cancer UK on this classic event.
Take on a truly classic challenge by cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats, the furthest possible distance in the British Isles.
Starting at Land’s End on the south-westerly tip of England, we pedal our way through Cornwall, over Dartmoor and north along the Welsh border, skirting the Lake District into Scotland, via lochs and the Highlands to the North Coast and John O’Groats.
In all you will cover almost 1000 miles, passing through some of the most stunning and remote countryside in the British Isles. This is a tough challenge but a fabulous way to see the country, and one of the most rewarding things you will ever do.
The itinerary:
Day 1: Land’s End – Liskerad | Day 2: Liskeard – Taunton | Day 3: Taunton – Chepstow |
| Day 4: Chepstow – Shrewsbury | Day 5: Shrewsbury – Preston | Day 6: Preston – Carlisle |
Day 7: Carlisle – Kilmarnock | Day 8: Kilmarnock – Cairndow | Day 9: Cairndow – Loch Lochy |
