end to end

we are planning doing the Lands end john oh groats trip any tips
welcome

Do a search on the web and read everything you can. The trip is known
variously as 'end to end' (e2e), LEJOG, JOGLE, Lands End to John
O'Groats and John O'Groats to Lands End. Wind direction makes it better
to start from Lands End but either way works fine.

You have a choice between camping or staying in hotels/youth hostels
with showers, heating and kitchens. The former is cheap, the latter is
going to be much more expensive but much more pleasant.

Sort out what you will take with you, then take only half of it.

Having only rear panniers on the bike makes it handle horribly. Adding
front panniers makes it handle less horribly. No idea what happens if
you only have front panniers tho.

Are you planning this for a school project?[1]

There's loads of helpful info available.

Other than my own site <blatant plug> at:
http://www.jpbdesign.net/EndtoEnd.html

the best list of ride reports is probably at:
http://www.users.waitrose.com/~ianclare/links.htm

The CTC is also very good, providing sample routes and info on travel
and accommodation. It is free to members.

How do you intend riding it? How many days? camping? B&B? Youth hostels?

I *really* hope this is deliberate, Mark!

Stay at Tongue youth hostel consider going to Cape Wrath and back to Tongue
the next day,and include Dunett Head on the way to JoG the following day.
You will have then visited the most NW point (Cape Wrath ) and the most
northerly point (Dunnett Head)
The Cape Wrath Challange cert. is avalable from the CTC see web site
www.ctc.org.uk .
Adds a bit to the story when you get back
