About the challenge
Cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats, the furthest possible distance in the British Isles, is a classic challenge that many dream of. Starting at Land’s End on the south-westerly tip of England, we pedal our way through Cornwall, over Dartmoor and north along the Welsh border, skirting the Lake District into Scotland, via lochs and the Highlands to the North Coast and John O’Groats.
In all we will cover roughly 1000 miles, passing through some of the most stunning and remote countryside in the British Isles.
We work with DiscoverAdventure for these events so do get in touch with us at fundraising@designability.org.uk if this is the sort of fundraising event you might like to do. There are various dates and various challenges so we hope that you will find one to suit you.
