Epilogue - From One End to The Other

Image
As End to End journeys go, my own was hardly what you'd call direct. But then that was never the point. My primary aim was to discover if it really was possible to hop from one local bus service onto the other all the way from one remote end of Britain to the other. And... well, I’ve established that actually it is possible. So - job done.  Mind you, I certainly haven't broken any records. The shortest distance from Land's End to John O'Groats by road is reckoned to be around 838 miles, depending on how you calculate it. Some people clearly a lot hardier than I have cycled it in less than 48 hours. The record for running it on foot is nine days. Just let that sink in for a minute... My own journey totalled 1,876 miles, give or take, which I completed over a period of 28 days, so I seem to have found an extra 1,000 miles from somewhere. But even then that's eight days longer than the record for completing it on a skateboard, for goodness sake.  Day 1

On the face of it, it didn’t look at all bad – low-ceilinged rooms, oak beams a-plenty and the floors so warped that a stroll down the corridor gave you the feeling of being cast adrift in a storm. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons why each bedroom is named after someone associated with the sea – my room was called ‘Captain Tom Johnstone' who, I discovered, was a notorious local smuggler and a man of great charisma who was reportedly adored by ‘women, children, dogs and horses’. Horses? Really? What really cost me an easy night’s sleep, though was it’s other residents.  Two weeks before starting my trip, I began typing out an itinerary to remind me where I would be sleeping each night. I couldn’t find my booking details for Lymington so I did a quick internet search to find the address and, lo and behold, there it was: “ The Angel Inn, Lymington, reputed to be one of
