I just thought I would like to brag a bit as my pal and I have recently completed the Lands End to John o'Groats backpack. Hes 70 and I am 64 and we carried all our own gear. I say that because we were amazed at the backup some people have.

I've also put this up to say thank you for your support with info and to Jennie for putting me onto Andrew at the rebound clinic who sorted my feet out.

Hi Bryan, congratulations. If you'd like to write a short piece for the site, you'd be more than welcome.

Glad Andrew sorted your feet out as well, he's a top bloke and knows what he's talking about.

sorry, my post could be read wrongly.

When I said "Also looking forward to you article!", I should have added a ;-) to show that I was only joking!!

Congratulations for yourself and your friend, commiserations for your feet!

I bet plenty of people are inspired by books, but not many have the balls to get up and carry out their threats!

Well Done!

Just curious, not being from the UK myself, what was the total distance?

And Kudos, well done.

Thanks for all your nice messages.

The total distance Danny is difficult as we did not stick 100% to the book but somewhere in the region of 1150 or 1200 miles. It is 1200 if you follow the book to the letter but we did not as we found some variations suited us.
