Cycle challenge: Lands End to John O’Groats

Discover the British Isles in this cycling challenge

Complete this classic challenge to cycle the length of the British Isles

A tough challenge, but a fantastic way to see the country and one of the most rewarding things you will ever do - while also helping the world’s poorest people improve their lives.

In all, you will cover more than 1,000 miles in 12 days, passing through some of the most stunning and remote countryside in the British Isles.

Starting at Land’s End on the southwesterly tip of England, you pedal through Cornwall, over Dartmoor, and along the Welsh border.

Skirting the Lake District into Scotland, the ride of your life continues via lochs and the Highlands up to the North Coast, and finishing at John O’Groats.
