I’m cycling through England, Wales, and Scotland to complete my own version of the Lands End to John O’Groats (LEJOG) bike ride. This is an adventure and not a race so although most people do the ride in two weeks, I have mapped out a route that takes me to places I’ve never been to before and includes a side trip to my hometown of Liverpool to visit friends and family.

To map out the route I have used many online sources. I have spent hours watching YouTube videos of other cyclists riding the LEJOG , JOGLE and the GB Divide. I’m traveling mostly on bike paths, gravel trails and small lanes.

I hope to camp along the way but if the weather is bad, I’ll be looking for hotels, hostels, or B&Bs.
