We got our route plan pretty much from the Pewseys route.www.pewseys.co.uk.
We changed it slightly due to youth hostel closures and wanting to stay at our friends houses on route.
The pewseys site is a fountain of knowledge for LEJOG, and includes Ultimate List of LEJOG Links.This image (borrowed from Pewseys) gives a general direction of where were going.
LANDS END, GOLANT, EXETER, BRISTOL, LEDBURY, BRIDGES, WARRINGTON, OVER KELLET, CARLISLE, GALLOWAY, LOCHRANZA, GLENCOE, LOCH NESS, CARBISDALE, TONGUE, JOHN O'GROATS! (Hopefully!)
15 Days Riding over 1000 miles! Unsupported and going the 'scenic' route!
Average miles per day is about 65 miles, though the Lochranza to Glencoe day is going to be 100!
Were staying in Youth Hostels / friends houses / travel lodges / bunkhouses and Carbisdale is a castle!
Were also getting the ferry to the Isle of Arran too
Seeing this written down like this has got me scared again, off to do some more training! (Scotland is massive)
Cheers for now
DB
Good luck
