Lands End to John o'Groats 2026
Lands End to John o'Groats 2026
Join me on this most spectacular of Great British bike journeys. Very small groups allows scope for route choice. The route ridden uses quieter roads wherever possible, there will be a goodly amount of scenery, and a climb or 2 to test the legs - this little isle we live on is surprisingly bumpy.
The ride out of Cornwall on the first day can include 2 tiny ferries. You'll ride across Dartmoor, through Cheddar Gorge and across the Severn Bridge thence north to Ironbridge. We then pass Manchester to either East or West [depending how hilly you'd like it to be] - then with a choice of routes Northwards - and on to Edinburgh via Innerleithen. Across the Forth Bridge, through the Caingorms on the Snow Roads and on to Inverness. We then head due North through some spectacular and remote countryside passing the remote Crask Inn, before a final right turn at Bettyhill then along the North coast to John o'Groats.
For 2026 the proposed route will be Lands End, Fowey, Moretonhampstead, Cheddar, Ross on Wye, Ironbridge, Congleton, Clitheroe, Kirkby Lonsdale*, Penrith*, Moffat*, Innerleithen, Edinburgh, Blairgowrie, Grantown on Spey, Inverness, Bettyhill thence to John o Groats. Route will be around 1600 km / 1000 miles with 20000 metres / 66000 feet of up.
