Bruce's Travel Log

• Sponsorship Request from Bruce

  Leaving Lands End on 31st May 2012, a team cycled the length of mainland Britain, arriving in John O'Groats 19 days later, having travelled just over 1140 miles through England, Wales and Scotland. This was no ordinary End to End Cycle. It was a ride by mountain bike, mostly offroad. The ride averaged about 60 miles per day, but it was the ascents, descents and rugged terrain that made this the toughest end-to-end bike ride

  The following 4 links show Bruce's video of this epic journey.

  Part 1 Tour days 1 to 5. Lands End, Cornwall to Staunton, Gloucestershire, England

  Part 2 Tour days 6 to 11. Staunton, Gloucestershire, England to Selkirk, Borders, Scotland

  Part 3 Tour days 11 to 16. Longtown, Cumbria, England to Drumnadrochit, Highland, Scotland

  Part 4 Tour days 17 to 19. Drumnadrochit, Highland, Scotland to Duncansby Head, John O'Groats, Caithness, Highland, Scotland
