I Tried Cycling The Length of Britain: 1,750kms & 17 Days On The Road | Land’s End to John O’Groats

Lands End to John O’Groats is one of Britain's classic long distance cycle rides. It’s a route I’ve always wanted to ride — starting on the rugged coast of south west England, climbing through the mountains of Wales, and finishing all the way up in the spectacular Scottish Highlands. So in April of 2025, I set out to ride from Lands End to John O’Groats. 1,700 kms and 17 days through the very best of Great Britain. Interested in the route and how I put it together?
