There is a pretty direct 907 mile route between Lands End and John O’ Groats. I’m not doing that one. There are also some alternatives that lead you through some quieter roads. The national cycle network route (SUSTRANS) is one of these routes that meanders along cycle paths and quiet country roads. Its a variation that extends the route to over 1,188 (very pretty) miles.

The reason for choosing the national cycle route is to help me slow down and enjoy the experience. A good way to slow down is to go somewhere beautiful and travel on paths where you cant really go too fast. The luggage should also help.

Apparently the route is very insta friendly too although Ill need to actually get onto Instagram to confirm this.
