Kim's "Land's End to John O'Groats" adventure

My name is Kim Churton and I am a 26 year old Speech-Language Therapist from New Zealand, currently living in London.. I will be attempting to cycle solo from Lands End at the bottom of Britain to John O'Groats at the top. I will be hoping to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support along the way.

Into Scotland


Day 13.. A lovely night spent at the Cliffhouse B & B, thanks Margaret, and a great meal out with the boys the night before for a big feed of Indian. After a few adjustments to the bike, Paul and Brad set off towards Haydrians Wall, for a bit of a run (I think this ended up being a 38 km one by the sounds) and I headed up to the Scotish Boarder. Not incredibly exciting but some nice views out over the Solway Firth. A nice detour via the Caerlaverlock Castel and on to Dumfries. Sorted out my next sleep, which was up inThornhill and had a cruisey ride through some foothills and along the valley of Nith. Great hospitality at the Buccleuch & Queensberry Hotel where the friendy owners invited me to their BBQ.. a great night and great company. Today 90km.

    Good on you Kim, you sound like you are having a fantastic journey and raising money at the same time.
    You certainly are seeing some interesting places. I always knew there was a place called Churton and now I know where it is.
