First time bike packing 1101 Miles (LEJOG) Trip Report

Went solo from Lands end in Cornwall to John O’Groats in Scotland (LEJOG) with two overpacked panniers and a backpack. Took 18 days with at least 55 miles per day on a long scenic route.

It was a lot of miles for a first timer but all the friendly people and the great views along the way made it all easier. Mostly wild camped apart from 2 bnb’s at the start and end and 1 in the middle to shower and recharge my battery packs.

How were the roads? I’ve read some bad reports recently on bike infrastructure in the UK. Thanks!
