Welcome to LandsEndJohnOGroats.com


Our objectives and aims are to provide an Association for any member of the public who has travelled, by whatever means from Land's End to John O'Groats (or vice versa) as a continuous journey - and succeeded.

A recent survey revealed that almost half of the current membership are cyclists, and about a quarter are walkers; The remainder being mostly motorists and motorcyclists.

Others have travelled by public transport, ridden on horseback or in wheelchairs. One Member managed it by supermarket trolley and another on a quad-bike. Some Members have travelled by anything but the most direct route. Some have included most of the National Parks, others the highest points in England, Scotland and Wales, and two Members even included the End to End of Ireland in their Journey. The imagination and resourcefulness of Members has no bounds!  The longest end-to-end trip to date was completed by two members, by bicycle, and covered 5000 miles, most of it through mainland Europe.

The Association unites such people through its quarterly magazine "Quo Vadis?" and its social activities. The latter include:

·        A summer weekend break - which in recent years has been held at Truro, Colwyn Bay and York.

·        The Annual Awards Presentation Weekend - held each January in Torquay.

Any member of the Association is eligible for an award if their journey meets the relevant criteria for a particular trophy.

It is not a requirement of membership that funds have been raised for charity. Nevertheless, most Members have raised such funds, and collectively have contributed more than £7,500,500 for charitable purposes. We are not a registered charity.

Since its inauguration in 1983, the association has attracted over 1100 Members.
