On the North Yorkshire cliffs
In April 2010 I intend to set off from Lands End and walk to John O'Groats with my border collie Gyp. We intend to follow the South West coast to Bristol and then keep the water on our left as we go up the Severn to Stourport. Across to the Pennine Way before hitting Edinburgh and Aviemore. From there on to Inverness and then we will keep the water on our right all the way to John O'Groats. We will have no support and intend to camp every night.

Route for Gyp's LEJOG
WHAT?
I'm hoping to travel from Lands End to John O'Groats with my dog Gyp, carrying a 15kg pack and sleeping in a tent.
HOW?
I am going to walk, using off-road footpaths wherever possible, and do not intend using any ferries to cross estuaries, meaning several long detours to walk to the nearest bridge.
WHY?
It has long been an ambition, since I visited Land End in 1974 and fuelled by reading John Hillaby's "Journey through Britain" shortly afterwards.
WHEN?
I intend to set off on Wednesday 14th April and I plan to walk for 66 days with a few extra rest days along the way. As I am camping there is no rigid schedule or fixed finish-time, although I have planned out each individual day's walking.
