LEJOGGERs (Lands End to John O'Groats)

Whether for charity or personal challenge Lands End to John O'Groats is worthwhile to see our lovely countryside at a slower pace.

This website has a lot of very good information and seems to be very up to date with other links.

From Inverness north the most attractive routes take you inland;

• through Lairg and up to Tongue (or branch off at Loch Naver and up Strathnaver to Bettyhill) or
• from Helmsdale to Melvich along Strath Halladale.

These roads have little traffic and beautiful scenery.

The north coast road to John O'Groats takes you past Dunnet Head - the most northerly point. If you find John O'Groats a bit of a disappointment when you get there, please go to Duncansby Head (just a short way) to see the stacks.

If you want to take a cycle on the train south you must pre-book it in as there are limited spaces.

Thurso and Wick are relatively large towns and have most amenities including cycle shops.
