In the summer of 2023, my partner and I decided to bike the length of Great Britain from its most south westerly point in England, to the most north-easterly point in Scotland. Starting in Lands’ End and finishing in John O’ groats, we followed the loosely established route known as LEJOG.

Part 2 covers our travels alongside the canals of the Midlands through to the green hills of the Yorkshire Dales and north-west of England.
