We did it!
Arrived at John O'Groats on Tuesday evening after 988 miles and 18 days, two days ahead of schedule.
Topped the mileage up to 1000 the following day.
Am finishing the blog now with Google Earth tracks, and will post the final link shortly.

Enjoyed 95% of it, I would say!
Which I don't think is too bad a percentage for an adventure.

I'm home, posting this from my desk. Just a little disappointed after speaking to my brother, he reminded me about signing the book at each end which we completely forgot to do.

Well done! It was good to bump into Ben in Cullompton, glad you made it to JOG safely. I see there's a couple of photos of me on your blog! We left to find the NCN 3 at Westleigh as you went off up the A38 to Taunton.
We finished on Weds 3rd June after 1084 miles. We had brill weather after Devon, we were really lucky. Sam who you also met in Cullompton finished a few days before us.
Cheers
John
