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:

A very quiet day for us today.  Julie went for a run before breakfast and later in the afternoon went for a walk, managing to get a bit wet both times.  Dave spent most of the day in our room on running club admin with Wimbledon on the TV in the background, although we did go for a short walk around the attractive hill town of Alston to do some shopping before lunch, and Dave booked himself in for a haircut and shave later in the afternoon.


For a change, we had dinner at the local pub, which was nice, but nothing special.
