Here's a collection of links to sites you may find useful when planning your own walk, as well as a selection of other people's End-to-End websites.
Podcasts
In November 2024, Dave Felton interviewed me for his LEJOGcast podcast. It was great fun!
You can listen to the podcast here, and I can highly recommend Dave's account of his own LEJOG, which is a beautifully photographed account of his own epic walk from 2017.
Books
You don't want to carry too many books on your journey, but the following might help you with the planning stages. I can particularly recommend the first two as excellent starting points.
-
Land's End to John o'Groats: A Thousand Mile Walking Route by Mike Salter
-
John o'Groats to Lands End: The Official Challenge Guide by Brian Smailes

Planning Your Own Walk
If you're planning your own walk, you might find the following links useful. Also, make sure you check out the list of other walkers' accounts below, as they're really useful too.
Clubs
You don't have to join a club or register your walk, but if you'd like an official certificate proving that you've done your walk, the following links might be useful.
-
Land's End John o'Groats Association (they also have a Facebook page)
Accounts by Other Walkers
If you're planning your own End-to-End walk, then reading about other people's experiences is essential. Here's a selection of blogs and websites covering other people's walks across Britain. If you're planning your own walk or you've already completed LEJOG and you're not listed, let me know and I'll be very happy to add you.
Ongoing Walks
- I don't know of any ongoing walks at the moment.
Planned Walks
- I don't know of any planned walks at the moment.
Completed Walks
Congratulations to everyone who has completed their own walk across Britain, and if you know of anyone who has managed the walk but isn't listed here, do let me know.
