I'd always liked the idea of cycling from John O'Groats to Lands End but never actually thought I'd ever do it. I was in Scotland with my bike and my campervan during a break from work and knew that it would be now or never.
This is my account of a ride which saw me, my bike, and my van getting from John O'Groats to Lands End, solo and unsupported. Don't believe the sunny photos and smiles that you see in official End to End guides - this is the warts and all version with public transport problems, flash floods and navigational issues. Although there were also smiles. Apart from on Day 13. And Day 16. And maybe Day 17.
