Land's End to John O'Groats Cycletouring Trip Part 2

Me at the John O'Groats milepost, 20th August 2002

This is the second part of my 'End to End' cycletouring trip which took me from Carlisle to John O'Groats and ran from Tuesday 25th June to Thursday 22nd August 2002.

Part One of this journey ran from Land's End to Carlisle the pevious year in July 2001.

On this journey I started by following Sustrans Route 7 from Carlisle to Irvine and then making my own route from there onwards. I avoided Glasgow by taking ferries from Androssen to the Isle of Arran and then to the Mull of Kintyre. From here I followed the west coast and took another ferry from Mallaig to the Isle of Skye where I spent two weeks at a traditional music festival. Returning to the mainland by the Skye Bridge, I then continued up the west coast to Durness and followed the North coast to John O'Groats. Here I took the ferry to the Orkney Islands and spent 10 days touring before coming back down the East coast to Wick to get the train back home.
