The Road goes ever on and on; Down from the door where it began;
Now far ahead the Road has gone; And I must follow, if I can;
Pursuing it with eager feet; Until it joins some larger way;
Where many paths and errands met; And whither then? I cannot say.
[JRR Tolkien, Lord of the Rings]

Mick and Gayle arrived at John O' Groats at 2.40pm today.
Gayle will post later once they're done celebrating (and when they've got a decent phone signal).

    And more well deserved congratulations Mick & Gayle!!!!!

    I've really enjoyed your LEJOG Blog and while I am glad you have completed your big walk, am sad that it and your musings on it will have to come to an end.

    Thanks,

    David

    Hi I am a frenchman and i was looking for reviews for the OMM bag when i discovered your blog and then i grew day after day more interested in your adventure which i truly enjoyed reading. I have done the end to end crossing from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean and your diary reminded me of all the little anecdotes one lives on such journeys. thanks again and congratulations

    Congratulations to you both and thank you for for taking us along with you on the journey.

    I have been following your route with the help of the photos on the "Geograph website", though the coverage in Scotland is still a bit patchy! I will not know what to do with my lunctimes sat at a desk in Central London. It seems the only option is to plan ahead and follow in your footsteps.
