End to End - Cycle UK by cycleuk

Finally managed to sort our route from John O ' Groats to Land!!! It took a LONG time, but I had to try and spread the distances evenly, as well as make sure there was a campsite near by. It works out at 1,013 miles (approx), but I'm sure that figure will change as can't see us not getting lost at some point.

Scary stuff when I look at the route on the map, but am really excited now... though slightly nervous at the challenge that this trip will present!
