  • book with Red Spotted Hanky and you can reserve your bike slots at the same time.

    If I were you I'd be tempted to take the sleeper all the way to Inverness or Fort William and start from there and do a circuit or something? Pain in the ass getting anywhere from JOG and the route from Edinburgh to Inverness is definitely not as spectacular as riding from Fort William to Durness and Cape Wrath.

  • Except I want to ride the LEJOG record route that I didn't do (somewhere north of Perth?). I'm not looking for a 'nice ride', it's more about finishing some unfinished business and doing a route check of that leg in case I ever decide to have another crack at it (as unlikely as that is now).

    Say I do 400k north, how far south would I then have to ride to get a good train back to London?

  • easiest option would be to pedal from John o Groats to Thurso and grab the train there which is 20 miles, or alternatively it's 50 miles down to Helmsdale. More food and hotel options at Thurso though.
