Lands End to JOG

Hi
I am planning to do the above in July (coronavirus dependent ).
I have been looking at my first days route from LE to Okehampton i don't see a "safe route" for this stage some people say avoid the A30 but recommend the A39 while others say don't use that road. I don't have any fear about being on a fast road (i personally think the A82 a tLoch Lomand is ok and have been up and down it may times) but if there is a better alternative i would look at it.

Thanks any help with this would be much appreciated.

Yeah. I'd not be booking anything just yet...

From this website : https://www.cyclelejog.com/routeplan.html

Cycling UK (formerly the Cycle Touring Club - CTC) also produce a pack with 4 suggested routes including both fast and quiet scenic routes, as well as an off-road route for a tougher challenge. Details of how to get this pack can be found on their website; currently it's free to Cycling UK members and £12.50 to non-members.
The other option you have is to buy a book put together by Royston Wood which details a "safe route". Royston has ridden LEJOG (and JOGLE) three times now, and his experiences have prompted him to find a route that's entirely on quiet roads and paths. This can be bought from Amazon here*.


If theres a quieter route I'd prefer that. Cycling past Loch Lomond doesnt sound much fun - its not that much fun driving past. Better routes out there.

Im supposed to be doing the Deloitte RAB in September, the route is on the website which may be worth checking out?
