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 quiet morning for Dave who, after walking up to watch the start of Julie’s trail half-marathon in the Carding Mill Valley amidst the nearby Shropshire Hills, spent more time on his keyboard.  Julie ran the race, doing very well to finish 5th female, and returned to our AirBnB after which we walked into town to buy lunch and supplies for tomorrow.


After lunch, more computer time for Dave, while Julie relaxed and then went for a short walk.


Back on the trail tomorrow after an enjoyable day’s break.
