| | Land's End to John o'Groats - An East of Pennines Route |
 | | This last part was a bit of a roundabout route and we might have been better taking the A3259 and A361 from Taunton to Street, but the fenland type countryside we passed through made an interesting contrast to the previous days of cycling. |
 | | The other route we could have taken was the A93 out of Perth through Blairgowrie and Braemar (where there is a SYHA hostel), then the B976 and A939 to Tomintoul (where there is also an SYHA) and on to Grantown-on-Spey towards Inverness. |
 | | It's surprising but as long as the route you plot is fairly straight, and does not zig-zag across counties as it goes, the difference between the most direct route, which stays to the West, and going further to the East is not quite as big as you might think. |
