Length of the Land – Lands End to John O’Groats on a 125cc motorbike

31 May 2009

Ok this isn’t as out of the blue as it sounds… only slightly out of the blue. I have decided to do aBasic RGBmarathon 906 mile trip from Lands End to John O’Groats on my little Yamaha YBR125. Im still L plated so can’t use any motorways (but who’d want to on a trip like this?)
Im hoping to raise money for UNICEF in the process too!

My route looks something like this. At present I reckon its going to take 3 days, stopping somewhere near Shrewsbury and again near Stirling. Thats based on averaging about 300 to 350 miles a day. It could all go wrong if I end up doing more :)

Am I worried? A little bit. I should probably get the bike serviced before I go but no money for that at the moment (it will be iffy if I can afford the fuel but thats details :) ). I think I just want to do something more than just the little tootles I’ve been on (even up to North Derbyshire and back isn’t enough).

Edit : This trip has had its own website for a while now. Check out www.lengthoftheland.com
