Scotland End to End – LeJock!

Cycling – 426 miles, 21,317 feet ascent

During our Scotland End to End Cycle Tour (Le Jock) from Lockerbie to John O’Groats you will experience the best of Scotland’s changing landscapes, and hopefully with a predominant sou’west tailwind all the way! The hills start gradually as we climb up and over the scenic southern uplands, and once beyond Glasgow the scenery just keeps improving. The Highlands in miniature through the Trossachs. Your first sight of the iconic mountain Buchaille Etive Mor as you summit Rannoch Moor. The Great Glen, the Caledonian canal and Loch Ness. And the white sands which greet you in Bettyhill when you reach the north coast…This tour is one of our new modular tours involving doing just one ‘stage’ of an existing tour, in this case stage 2 of our 14 day Lands End to John O’Groats route. You will meet the other cyclists doing the full LeJog in Lockerbie.

Accommodation

Your accommodation, on a twin-share bed and breakfast basis, will be in a mix of family-run hotels and good quality bed and breakfasts. We always aim to accommodate the group in the same location each night, though on rare occasions this may not be possible due to availability.

From 2026, we plan to be the first UK cycle tour operator to offer comfortable hotels throughout this route. We recognise how important a good night’s sleep, secure bike storage, and post-ride comfort are—especially after a long day in the saddle. Where possible during the summer months, we’ll also prioritise rooms with air conditioning and additional amenities to help you unwind and recover in comfort.

Single accommodation is available for a supplement of £350.

Meals

The hotels will provide breakfast whilst the support team will provide a pack-up lunch, this will depend on what is available on the day and could include a mix of fresh sandwiches, pasties or easy grab and bites sourced from local bakeries. If weather doesn’t permit outdoors we will get into cafes for quick lunch.

​You will need to purchase your own evening meals, which are usually eaten communally although of course you are free to opt out if you wish.

We will carry emergency energy gels and bars in the support van but you are advised to bring along your own preferred sports nutrition to fuel your ride. There will be water refills, fruits bars etc provided to keep you hydrated.

In the Tour Plan, (B, L, D) refers to meals included in the trip cost i.e. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

Bike Transfers

We will happily transport your bike to Lockerbie from Sheffield and back again from Inverness to Sheffield at no extra charge. However, because this is a stage of a longer tour, the bike drop-off would need to happen on or before 3rd September and it would be in the van waiting for you in Lockerbie. It would be ready to collect two days after the tour ends.

If that isn’t convenient or you don’t feel like you can be without your bike for that long before the tour starts (!) then you could either book your bike onto the train to and from Lockerbioe and Inverness, and we will transport it from the station to and from hotels. Or else we might be able to pick it up en route if you live near our LeJog route up through England.</p>

Please get in touch with us to discuss arrangements, and to explore what might be possible. Any significant diversions from our existing routes would incur an additional fee.

While we will take all reasonable care while handling your bikes, using padded covers and making sure they are securely stored, we are not liable for any loss or damage during transportation and storage. We recommend you have appropriate insurance.
