Julie and I will be hiking from John O’Groats to Land’s End in the UK during the northern summer of 2022. The journey of nearly 2,000 kilometres will take about two and a half months, a week or two longer than when I hiked the other direction in 2010. We will stay in B&B’s, hostels and pubs, so will not be carrying camping gear, though we will each have an emergency bivvy sack just in case we can’t find somewhere to stay.

Journal:

We both slept long and fitfully in the narrow student bed before Julie got up at 7:00am to go for a short run, which turned out to be more of a walk.


The balance of the day was spent doing laundry, booking accommodation for the next ten days and catching up with correspondence and admin.  Dave never left the room, while Julie couldn’t resist the temptation to go for another short walk in the afternoon.


Hopefully, we will feel better tomorrow when we catch the train/bus back to Auchinstarry and resume walking.
