The Plan

On 26th June, Jack Ibbotson and myself (Peter Smallwood), plan to set out on an epic adventure, taking us, on our bikes, from Lands End in Cornwall, approximately 1,300 miles through some of Britain's most hilly and adverse yet beautiful countryside, all the way to John O'Groats in North-East Scotland.





We plan to take a long scenic route, taking in the wild and sparsely populatd North-West of Scotland, carrying everything we need to survive, from tents to toothbrushes. It should take about three weeks.

Below is a map of our proposed route:

We did not, however, want to find ourselves stuck on a wild Scottish mountainside, hungry, cold and wet, with buckled wheels and worn out brakes, without the justification of a charitable purpose to our ride. Therefore, we have decided to raise money for the cancer charity Dove House Hospice, in aid of Claire Louise Jones, who sadly passed away last July. Claire was a born fighter, which is a mindset we will no doubt need in order to complete this mammoth feat. If you would like to make a charitable donation to Dove House Hospice as part of our trip, please visit the following website:

All donations will go straight to Dove House Hospice, and payment is secure.


I will try to keep this blog up-to-date whilst on the trip, so anyone who is interested will be able to follow our progress.


Wish us luck, we'll need it!
