Tales from End to End

There was a sub-plot to the walk from Land’s End to John o’Groats (LEJOG). As the walk proceeded, John added stories from people along the route.

Some of these ‘Tales from End to End’ told of features of special interest that appeared along the route. Others told of the joys (?) of long distance walking. Some were from family members or former work colleagues.
