Me and Keith are planning to ride from Lands end to John O'Groats next year. We will doing this for the Guide dogs charity.
The dates are
20th Aug travel down to lands end Stay the evening
21st Aug start the epic ride
Return 30th Aug 9 days cycling 2 days traveling
The rough plan at the moment is Keith knows a man with a van which we can borrow and his Daughter will do some or all of the route. Plus my other half will do some driving this is to be finalised.
Keith is going to look into any sort of discount available from the guide dogs charity for the hotels near each stop.
Reason for posting is that if any of you are free and would like to do the whole route with us then
please let us know within the next 2 weeks!!! This is when we will be looking to book the hotels and sort out transport.Also of course any one is welcome to cycle with us on part of the route.
I've gone through most of the obvious routes and various websites for inspiration and the route which I have chosen is taken from the
www.rideacrossbritain.com website
Day 1 Land's End – Okehampton roughly 107miles
Day 2 Okehampton to Bath roughly 110miles
Day 3 Bath to Ludlow roughly 99 miles
Day 4 Ludlow to Haydock roughly 105 miles
Day 5 Haydock to Penrith roughly 104 miles
Day 6 Penrith to Hamilton roughly 100 miles
Day 7 Hamilton to Fort William roughly 126 miles
Day 8 Fort William to Kyle of Sutherland 110 miles
Day 9 Kyle of Sutherland to John O' Groats 104 miles
Total distance 965 miles
Once everything is booked up and confirmed I'll be setting up a Justgiving page and a blog
