I did LEJOG solo last summer. Bought a road bike specifically for it (sorry for selling out lol!). I wild camped and stayed at friends places so worked out very cheap - although a lot more challenging. Midges in Scotland were definitely the worst thing about the experience. Slept on the cliffs of Land's End and John o'Groats as well as next to Thirlmere in the Lake District and on the side of the road in the Highlands. Took me 9 days of riding + 3 rest days + 1 day riding 133 miles back to Inverness to catch my coach home lol!! I've actually just self-published a 20,000 word zine/book about it too if anyone's interested in supporting a kid with a dream ~ http://josephxkendrick.bigcartel.com
