Day 21

Written by

The end is in sight (almost literally).

Today I cycle the final 12 miles to John O’Groats, have a little cry, take a photograph and start my 3 day journey back to Inverness to take the overnight train back to London.

This day is for Samuel, who turns 22 today. Happy Birthday Samuel 🎂🎂🎂

A mountain of potatoes.

It’s official!

956 miles and 2 sets of brake pads since leaving home.

I’m saving my remaining 1 mm of brake pads for these hills tomorrow.

This man has just walked from Land’s End! He started on 8th May.

Nice to be cycling with the wind 💨for a change.

I thought I would see more Highland cows, but these are the first ones I’ve seen.

I’m not sure if the person who wrote this was completely sober.

End of day 21. I’m staying in a place with a wonderful view over the ocean.

Fantastic! Well done Tony. We’ve been cycling about 20 miles a day, so have been thinking of you managing 50! But great to see these end photo’s. (I’ve also just found out how to see the comments!) Blessings and hopefully a peaceful return journey. J

What an amazing trip; thanks for keeping us all updated with your blog. You must have Photoshopped the blue sky at John O’ Groats. And surely you’re going to do the swim to Shetland for a true sense of completion. LeShe although I’m sure the French would say LaShe.

Tony, you’ve conquered LeJog and Le Hiccup – from coastal glory to bike computer purgatory, you kept pedalling (and occasionally training) your way to the top of the map. Rain, midges, tech tantrums… all part of the epic! You’ve completed Britain in style. Now off the saddle and onto a throne – preferably with coffee, cake, and zero notifications.
