Land’s End to John O’Groats

Starting at Land’s End on the south-westerly tip of England, pedal your way through Cornwall, over Dartmoor and north along the Welsh border, skirting the Lake District into Scotland, via lochs and the Highlands to the North Coast and John O’Groats.

In all the ride will cover just over 1000 miles, passing through some of the most stunning and remote countryside in the British Isles. This is a tough challenge but a fabulous way to see the country, and one of the most rewarding things you will ever do for charity! 

This is a fully-supported event, run by Discover Adventure. For alternative dates, visit the Discovery Adventure website.

If sponsorship targets aren't reached, it can impact our ability to continue our vital work at Terrence Higgins Trust. It can even leave us out of pocket, as we pay a certain amount for each event space.
