Guidebook to cycling the End to End route from Land's End to John o' Groats (LEJOG). 14 days and almost 1000 miles, largely on minor roads and cycle paths, avoiding the busier A roads. Includes detailed maps, profiles, key grid refs and GPX files, listings of accommodation providers and cycle shops, and tips for first-time cycle tourers.
A guidebook describing Britain's famous Land's End to John o Groats (LEJOG) or 'End to End' cycle route, a journey of almost 1000 miles from the very tip of southwest England - Land's End - to the northernmost point of mainland Scotland - John o' Groats. Divided into 14 day stages, with each stage covering between 53 and 85 miles, the route features some of the best cycling the UK has to offer. Grid references are provided at every significant junction, along with notes on the many points of interest and the best places to stop for refreshments and repairs

The route outlined in the book is designed to take in some of the finest cycling that the UK has to offer, along the quieter A roads, B roads, lanes and cycle paths. Step-by-step route descriptions are accompanied by 1:250,000 mapping and stage profiles. There are links to GPX mapping of the route for simple GPS navigation as well as a handy equipment list, route summary table, tourist office and cycle shop listings, together with information on health and safety, training and fitness. A listing of accommodation en route is also given.

Nick Mitchell, a veteran of numerous Land's End to John o'Groats End to Ends, is a passionate long-distance cycle tourist with thousands of cycling miles to his credit. His comprehensive knowledge of the route has been built up over many years. Nick has previously cycled from Munich to Sheffield and Harwich to Bergen, topped off with a John o'Groats to Land's End. He recently cycled halfway round the coast of Britain. When he isn't in the office writing up cycling routes, Nick can be found out on the road guiding long-distance tours.
