Taking the east coast route adds 3hours but avoids the Peak District. I live about 5 miles off the google maps route. But if you divert near derby you end up coming through Swadlincote.

I can make a mean spag Bol....

I'm 4 miles from the Forth Road Bridge and there are beds and food for you here. It's a fair old trek on a bike with the correct number of wheels, let alone a unicycle!

A couple of my ex girlfriends have done it. No idea what the connection there is.

I did it last year in a Mk1 Escort. J O'Groats is an awfully long way!

I'm going to guess you choose the west coast route. Free camping here if you need it (Chester ish)

It's still in the early stages of planning the route needs to take us via stafferton as some friends are organising a parachute jump for another charity. The only problem I can foresee is we all like a drink need a female to supervise. :001_smile:

I did it back in 2000 for cancer charity, we went from lands end to john o groats, the charity we done it for sorted out accomidation for us in different fire stations along the route, most of the bigger ones were happy to feed us as well, and up in Scotland in the smaller stations they put camp beds and caravans for us to sleep in, didn't cost us anything for digs but we had to buy food some nights, the route they planned for us was a bit of a scenic one so took a bit longer than normal, there is a more direct route but it uses some very busy roads and dual carriageways, (fergot to say we were cycling)
