Ride
There are numerous other rides that are "end to end" - or from extremity to extremity of a country, continent etc. - France has the "Manche to Med" with, for example, Rob (the webmaster) & Jon's Wine-ding Down Through France from Calais to Montpellier.
The expression "end to end" in the UK invariably registers with people as travelling from Land's End to John O'Groats - from the far south-west to the far north-east of the mainland British Isles.
The purist will tell you (normally spluttering through his beard and spilling real ale on his sandals) that the REAL end-to-end is actually from Lizard Point to Dunnett Head ... whatever, the rides listed and the content of the website relate to the "principle of an end-to-end"
As well as the LEJOG & JOGLE in the UK rides the site will carry information about other end-to-end cycle journeys be that from Malin to Mizen in Ireland, wherever they start from in Northern Norway and Gibraltar, Alaska to Tierra del Fuego - or the Calais to Montpellier that the webmaster rode in 2008 .... just send the reports!
Land's End to John O' Groats is a journey - the traversal of the whole of the island of Great Britain from South-West to North-East.
- Land's End is the extreme Southwestward (but not Southern or Western) point of Great Britain, situated in western Cornwall at the end of the Penwith Peninsula.
- John O' Groats is the traditionally acknowledged extreme Northern point of Scotland, in Northeastern Caithness. The actual northernmost point is at nearby Dunnet Head. The point which is actually furthest by road from Land's End is Duncansby Head, about 2 miles (3.2 km) from John O' Groats.
The straight-line distance from Land's End to John O'Groats, is approximately 603 miles (970 km); it passes just east of Glasgow, leaves the Scottish coast near the Isle of Whithorn, crosses the sea and passes across the Isle of Man, passes a few miles to seaward of Holyhead on Anglesey, crosses the St David's peninsula of Pembrokeshire, and makes landfall again near St Just in Cornwall.
The distance by road is 874 miles (1,407 km), according to the much-photographed signposts at each end.
Expeditions from Land's End to John O' Groats (sometimes referred to as end-to-end or LE-JOG) have been undertaken using numerous forms of transport, and are often sponsored as charity fundraisers.
from Wikipedia
Wikipedia has nothing to say on JOGLE, other than a referral to LEJOG - it's just going the other way!
To send your Journal to add to the site just complete the form - and upload a small picture if you want to add it to the Library of Journals index.
When you do send your post-ride blog/journal please remember that the E2E site links to your journal where it's hosted - so you need to ensure that it remains live for the foreseeable future (and if it's in a "blogging" style of site that the indexing doesn't move the content away from the precise link you have supplied)
As an alternative the E2E site can host Journals if they are in .pdf format - that means that they are part of the main site and not external links. If you can't create a pdf I can do that from most PC based software programs.
