John O’Groats to Tongue 10 years on

9 August 2019

This time, 10 years ago, I would have been cycling between John O’Groats to Tongue. A distance of 64.22 miles, with an elevation gain of 1,237 metres. It was the first, time I had ever been to that part of Scotland and till this day, can’t believe how totally amazing the views were!

Check out the route, over at www.strava.com/activities/445506836 and please do give me a kudos. Only had two so far! That’s due to Strava, not being a thing back then!

Of course, wetsuits are more fun with another lad!

Still can’t believe that 7 years ago today, I set off on the End to End cycle! Which I would, still rate has one of the best things, I’ve done in my life!

Of, course it’s still something I would love to do again! Maybe next time, not get dumped while doing it! Well that would not be hard, since I am still very much single!! LOL! 🙂

You can check out the first day of the route, white took me from John O’Groats to Tongue at www.strava.com/activities/445506836.
