Lands End to John O Groats is one of the UK's most iconic rides - thousands of cyclists undertake this incredible journey each year, and its one we believe should be on every cyclist's bucket list!

 

Taking in 3 countries and just under 1,000 miles in 10 days this is not a challenge to be undertaken lightly, but it's simply the best way to see the UK, giving you the opportunity to enjoy the stunning scenery our fine island has to offer. Plus after 10 challenging days of consecutive riding, you'll likely be in prime shape by the time we reach the end!

 

Departing from the UK's most South Westerly township of Land’s End, we take on the challenging but beautiful terrain of Cornwall and Devon, over the Severn Bridge and through to the picturesque Wye Valley. We'll continue through the Cheshire plains and North West England, heading through the simply breath taking Lake District via the formidable Kirkstone pass. 
 
We cross over to Scotland on day 6 where we'll pass by the bustling city of Edinburgh and into the Highlands via the staggering Cairngorms mountain range, where you'd be forgiven in parts for thinking you were the first person to discover the area! The feeling of rugged adventure will be an ever present as we head further North through this ancient and haunting country to our goal - Jon O' Groats!
 
Our highly experienced team will be on hand every step of the way with support, be it in the form of a hot cup of tea or a word of encouragement when it's most needed! We'll have a cyclist on the road with the group, as well as the Mellow Jersey support van brimming with everything you'd need to keep those wheels moving forward. Your luggage will appear at your evenings lodgings as if by magic as our team welcome you in from your days ride, so with everything taken care of, all you need is to eat, drink, sleep and cycle!

 

Itinerary

 

The tour is based on a 10 day ride, and the stages are as follows:

 

Day One - LE to Stowford 97 miles, 7000ft 

A challenging start to the trip as you weave through Cornwalls steep, sharp climbs, including the passage through Bodmin Moor
 
Day Two - Stowford to Wells 97 miles, 6000ft

Another tough day as you skirt North of Dartmoor before heading over the Blackdown Hills and into Devon
 
Day Three - Wells to Ludlow 105 miles, 5000ft

The longest day of the trip which takes in a brief trip in to Wales and through the Wye Valley - a gorgeous but tough ride!
 
Day Four - Ludlow to Lymm 92miles. 4200ft

You'll begin your day passing through the tough terrain of the Shropshire Hills before being rewarded with a section of flat riding as you enter Cheshire!
 
Day Five - Lymm to Crossthwaite 97 miles, 4,800ft

Very much a ride of two halves as the morning will be spent navigating the busy Manchester/Liverpool conurbation, before entering Lancashire and the beautiful Forest of Bowland, arriving in the Lakes by the end of the day!
 
Day Six - Crossthwaite to Moffat - 95 miles, 4,800ft

A quite stunning day of cycling through the Lake District, with the mighty Kirkstone pass to tackle fairly early, followed by Matterdale, the rest of the day will seem like a doddle as you arrive in SCOTLAND!
 
Day Seven - Moffat to Perth 100 miles, 4,600 ft

The morning kicks off with a gorgeous, gentle climb up the "Devils beef tub" before a lovely descent and the long road to Edinburgh! The ride over the Forth Road Bridge really does feel like a mile stone in the trip!
 
Day Eight - Perth to Grantown on Spey - 96 miles, 6.200 ft

Arguably the biggest day of the route comes today as you'll tackle the climbs up to not one, but two ski stations! Glenshee and the formidable Lecht await as we pass through the Cairngorms National park
 
Day Nine - Grantown on Spey - Lairg - 94 miles. 4,900ft

We'll be passing through the Capital of the Scottish Highlands, Inverness today as we continue our march North! The landscape gets ever more beautiful, and sparsely populated with every mile we tick off.
 
Day Ten - Lairg to JOG - 95 miles, 4,200ft

The grand finale! The morning will be spent heading firstly to Britain's most remote pub! before tracking the course of the River Naver as it makes its way out to the NORTH SEA! The afternoon will be spent riding due East as we home in on our goal, John O Groats!
