JoGLE 10: Launceston to John O'Groats

Finished John O'Groats to Lands End. 1000 miles on bike in 10 days. Smashing.

Here is some evidence:


I'll write a full debrief tomorrow on the train home.


Added the following day:

Strava part 1 and part 2.

Lowley cottage - RAF Davidstow Moor -

Cambourne - Penzance - Lands End ( - Penzance)



The first section of the day took us up

Seeing that James and I stayed a few miles out of Launceston and that we had a big day we decided to meet at the first meeting point of the day. So James and I

After we had a lovely break at the Snails Pace tea shop and discussed their composting toilet at length we set out along the Camel Way. A picturesque disused old train line. We had an obligatory Cornish pastie stop for lunch in Newlyn Eas. We then rumbled along through Cornwall with the smell of the sea getting stronger and stronger until we hit Penzance.


I didn't realise St  Michael's Mount was next to Penzance. After going along what felt like a quarry floor next to the beach we had to cycle straight past our B&Bs with still 9 hilly miles to go to Lands End. Thank god for adrenalin.
