A group of 3 of us are doing JOGLE leaving JOG May 25th, and taking a leisurely journey south west to Lands End over three weeks, with a Ben Nevis Climb (optional) and three rest days, will be ending at LE on June 14th, then having a weekend holiday there with family. Travelling unsupported with mostly camping and the occasional B&B etc if needed.

Welcome to join if it fits.

Hi Bud,I did LEJOG back in May 2007 with a mate 16 days, our route 1050 miles staying at B and B and Hostels.I tried again in 2010 this time JOGLE i got as far down as Edinburgh. Then my knee gave me trouble so had to pack it in.I still fancy another go, The only thing that puts me off is the train journeys to start or finish.What are your plans regarding accomodation and trains ? Anything else about yourself.Or anyone else that may fancy forming a group,Thanks for now T.

I fly up to Inverness and john O Groats bike transport (http://www.johnogroatsbiketransport.co.uk/) will collect me from the airport, my bike will get couriered the week before and rebuilt in inverness.

I hope to catch up with you en route

My big ride starts three days after I turn 30 again. I'm flying out of Australia on May 21st and hope to be riding LeJog departing on 23rd. I'm planning twenty days and riding across to Mablesthorpe in the process. I might see you all on the way!
Cheers Royce
