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:

In the morning, we both walked the 3 kilometres to the Welsh end of the Severn Bridge and participated in the Severn Bridge Parkrun which goes out to the English side of the Bridge and back to the Welsh side, along with about 160 other runners.  It was a unique course and a bit of fun, though we will be walking across the same bridge again tomorrow.


On our walk back to the hostel we bought some breakfast and ate it out the back of the hostel at a picnic table after showering.  We then had a lazy day, with Dave mostly tapping away on the keyboard and Julie going for an afternoon walk around the interesting old town.


We had a pub dinner again and an early night.
