Start Date 10 JUNE 2011
The intentions are to leave our home town of Hebburn, Tyne and Wear and to travel to John o'Groats on the 9th June stay over night and start at 7am after a decent breakfast and plenty of fluids. First days destination will be Dingwall a short 108.8 miles away! I will be supported by my dad who will drive ahead to the agreed stop off points in a support vehicle. All Milage is approximate and I expect will change as I get lost along the way!!

13/06/2011 Strathaven to Carlisle 104.2 miles
14/06/2011 Carlisle to Barrowford 108.5 miles tough day as I have to climb Shap in the lake district hence a shorter day to follow

18/06/2011 Exeter to Lands End 116.3 miles Long day in the saddle this one a possible 12 hour stint
All of the accomodation is to be arranged yet and could be a drain on our personal finance so if any body knows where we could stay or even have freinds who would be willing to put us up it would be great. Other than that I'll keep you informed to where we end up and what we encounter. The route could be subject to some slight changes if free accomodation is offered!!
