Land's End to John O'Groats Cycletouring Trip Part 1

Me at the Land's End milepost on the 4th June 2001

This is the first part of my 'End to End' cycletouring trip which took me from Land's End to Carlisle and ran from Monday 4th June to Thursday 5th July 2001.

Part Two of this trip ran the following year from Carlisle to John O'Groats in June/July/August 2002.

From Lands End I followed Sustrans route 3 to Taunton using the 'Cornish Way' and 'West Country Way' cycle maps. From Taunton I made my own way via Highbridge up to Chepstow, and then along Sustrans routes to Rhyader. From there I travelled to Aberystwyth and followed the west coast of Wales up to Caernarfon and then along the north coast to Chester in England. From Chester I made up a route using OS Landranger maps to Carlisle, roughly following the west coast of England.
