Terminology: JOGLE or LEJOG

JOGLE = John O'Groats to Land's End
LEJOG = Land's End to John O'Groats

By choosing to go south to north it means not that we are trying to take advantage of the usual prevailing wind, but that we can use the joke about it being harder because we are going up the map. I said this to one of my neighbours and he believed me.
(Shh ... Nigel, it was Wayne.)

Haggis and Cornish Pasties = JOGLE

Cornish Pasties and Haggis = LEJOG



Why?

The altruistic reason:
AdoptionUK helps make life better for children who have suffered trauma and neglect. It is a charity close to my heart. If you would like to know why or learn more about Adoption UK, please visit my sponsor page at:

The personal reason:
Well, it seems a more productive use of my mid-life crisis than to get some leather trousers, buy a motorbike or have an affair. One of my Land's End to John O'Groats team mates, Nick, and I were discussing our crises one day in June last year, listing all the things we had never done but wished we had. He mentioned Land's End to John O'Groats. I said, 'Let's do it.' He said 'Yes'. I then asked cycle-commute partner, John, and he said 'Yes' before I had even finished the sentence. I thought middle age was meant to teach you caution.
