Description
Great Britain from southwest to northeast.
Land’s End to John o’ Groats, often shortened to LEJOG, is a classic end-to-end cycling trip. The book connects coastlines, cultural landscapes, towns, and highlands in one long journey. It provides a clear route suggestion rather than requiring you to piece together all connections yourself, and also allows for completing the trip in the opposite direction.
A layout with stages and alternative timeframes.
The route is approximately 1600 kilometers long and is presented with a stage breakdown that provides a natural starting point for planning. The schedule can be adapted to your own fitness level and available time. This makes the book useful both for cyclists seeking a concentrated challenge and those who want room for extra stops or rest days along the way.
Practical choices before and during the journey.
The guide provides assistance with preparations, transport to the start and home from the finish, accommodation, and facilities. The route seeks to use quiet roads and traffic-free sections where appropriate, though the entire trip does not take place on separate cycle paths. Maps and descriptions help you understand how the various parts of the journey are connected.
A major trip that requires realistic daily goals.
The total distance and elevation changes require endurance, even if no single mountain stage defines the challenge. Wind and weather can change progress from day to day. The guide is suitable for prepared cycle tourists who want to use the stages as a tool and choose a pace that matches their own requirements throughout the long journey.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
