Land’s End to John O’Groats: 20 – 28 May 2017
10 days, 9 nights (9 days cycling)

Explore the best of the UK on two wheels, taking on this renowned journey from end to end.

Departing from the shores of Land’s End, we take on the many steep climbs of Devon and Cornwall, over the Severn Bridge and through to the picturesque Wye Valley. We continue our journey up through scenic towns and villages to the north, incorporating the stunning ascent of Shap Fell, the highest road pass in the UK and on to the borders. On day six we reach Scotland, where the scenery around Glen Coe and Loch Ness is simply breathtaking, passing Ben Nevis before finishing up our adventure at John O’Groats, with almost 1,000 miles in our legs.

Thousands of people undertake this challenge every year, and for good reason. The stunning route and scenery, beautiful roads and challenging distances make you fully appreciate the beauty of the United Kingdom.

Whether you want to join the camaraderie of a guided group (varying paces available each day) or tackle it alone (with your Garmin for company!), our support crew will be on hand to ensure you have a truly memorable experience.
