LEJOG: 1000 Miles of Pedaling,
5000 Years of History

Embarking on a cycling odyssey from Land’s End to John O’ Groats, we embarked on a journey through the heart of the United Kingdom, weaving through captivating landscapes and embracing the diverse tapestry of its history and culture. Our adventure began in Cornwall, where we savored the quintessential British experience of enjoying fish and chips by the seaside, against the backdrop of rugged cliffs and crashing waves. As we pedaled northward, we explored the remnants of old abandoned tin mines, silent witnesses to Cornwall’s industrial past. Venturing inland, medieval towns like Chester greeted us with their charming cobbled streets and timbered houses, offering a glimpse into centuries of history. Quaint villages dotted the countryside, each with its own story to tell, as we meandered through idyllic landscapes and rolling hills. Riding ever upwards, we ascended into the majestic highlands, where the towering peaks and sweeping vistas of Glen Coe took our breath away. As we reached our final destination at John O’ Groats, we looked back on the memories forged along the way, each mile a testament to the spirit of adventure and discovery that had fueled our epic cycling expedition across the length of the UK. And amidst it all, the ancient wonders of Skara Brae on the Orkney Islands stood as a testament to the enduring legacy of human ingenuity and resilience, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts and minds.
