Willard & Steve, accompanied by 'scout' in a hired motor home, embarked on their most adventurous cycling trip to date, from Lands End to John O'Groats (LEJOG).


Between 9.50am 20th April and 8.58am 30 April 2011 they succeeded in completing LEJOG, covered 900.18 miles and left a blog along the way which they hoped would make people smile as it did them.

The day of no photos.  Even bright sunshine could not make some of the places we passed through look photogenic. In the south Lakes tonight. What a difference.  First man we spoke to at the camp site produced the quote of the day: “I’ve had a very tiring day. Had to put up my awning. Mind, it’s a big bugger.”           

Day 5. Plan to travel through the Lake district and cross the border into bonny Scotland.
