LAND'S
END TO JOHN O'GROATS 
A
Cyclist's Guide
The story of a cycle ride from Land's End to John O'Groats - the route,
what to eat, how to prepare and what to take.
2 people, 7 days, 872 miles, a total ascent of 37,620 ft, 51,344 calories
and no punctures.
Following two cyclists on the UK's longest journey and passing through
hundreds of miles of Britain, we see sun and rain, hills and valleys,
towns and countryside and the highs and lows as we make our way across
the country in seven days of cycling in all conditions.
We hear from experts about route planning, diet & nutrition, training
& exercise and bike preparation.
The two cyclists - Simon Tillyer and Trevor Howard talk through their
own preparation and make daily video diaries.
There are route details and elevation cross sections for each day as well
as useful facts about the journey.
This is an excellent guide for anyone who is considering making the trip
themselves.
Simon rode to raise money for a charity - The Newbury & District
Cancer Care Trust and 20% of the sale price of each DVD sold will also
be donated to the trust.

"It's
a professional and refreshing view without being full of acronyms and
jargon, and to me it felt like it was being aimed at Anybody and not just
Hardened Cyclists."
Hilary Fairhurst
"This
is the documentary-style story of a seven day End-to-End trip, using main
roads.
There are interviews with experts on diet and nutrition, training and
exercise and bike preparation, which are useful whether you're doing the
trip in one week or several. Recommended just don't use their route
unless you're an experienced cyclist!"
