| The classic challenge ride of just over 1,000 miles that takes you all the way from the tip of Cornwall, through some of the most scenic areas of the country, to the very top of the Scottish mainland. The trip starts at Land’s End, and from here the route takes you along the north coast of Cornwall, across Dartmoor and around Bristol. After crossing the River Severn you continue north through the rolling countryside of Herefordshire and Shropshire, around Manchester and across the wild countryside of Northern England to the Scottish border. After the hills of the Southern Uplands you pass through the centre of Glasgow, and continue through the glorious scenery of the Scottish Highlands, passing Ben Nevis and Loch Ness on your way to John O’Groats. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Roads & Terrain:
The route is paved all the way and follows minor roads as much as possible, although on some stretches,
notably in Scotland, main roads are unavoidable and some of these do carry moderately heavy traffic. The
route passes through plenty of small towns and villages, as well as a few larger towns which can be busy.
The route through the centre of Glasgow is on local cyclepaths. The first part of the route through Cornwall
and Devon is challenging with plenty of short steep hills. Around Bristol it becomes easier with gentler
climbs, but the north of England is again hilly with a few tough climbs. The route through Scotland has some
long climbs although generally these are not too steep. The ten day trip is recommended only for very fit,
experienced cyclists.
**Note this trip is also available as a Fully Supported Holiday:
2 week camping or B&B based holiday in June 2 week B&B based holiday in July 3 week B&B based holiday in August | |||||||||||||||||||
