No direction home.....

LEJOG or JOGLE?

This is a big decision and there are many factors to consider. In the end I was swayed mainly by these:

  • North - South feels like coming home
  • Surprisingly everyone says the hills in Devon and Cornwall are harder than those in Scotland (where you tend to go through rather than over). So I thought I'd get acclimatised first
  • Travel just seems to be easier at Land's End, so get the hard bit over at the start
  • And now there's a plan forming for a welcome party at Land's End...more to follow

JOGLE it is - flight is booked with EasyJet, Luton to Inverness, then  John O'Groats Bike Transport having couriered the bike up to Inverness the week before will drop me off at John O'Groats. This should be mid-afternoon on Saturday 24th June, giving me the time to look around, take the obligatory photos and get 20-30 miles knocked off before starting off in earnest on Sunday.

The plan is taking shape!
